DataDot Security Information


DataDots - What are they?
DataDot consists of tiny discs, about the size of a grain of sand, each laser etched with multiple lines of code. The code is unique for each asset. The code is stored on a national database. In some instances the DataDot simply carries the "primary identifier" issued by the manufacturer - for example the VIN as issued by the manufacturer. All DataDot Fitment Center and Asset Kit applications use a unique PIN number which is linked to you for life. Fitments can also be done at your home or place of business.
Theft Deterrent
Increases risk of handling stolen goods, more difficult for thieves to trade stolen property. All your assets will be contaminated with 1000’s of dots...their value will be lost to the thief because they know they can not resell them.
