The Alpharetta, Ga.-based consumer data provider has agreed to adopt significantly stronger security measures, including written certification and, in some cases, onsite visits by ChoicePoint (nyse: CPS - news - people ) to ensure the legitimacy of companies before they are allowed access to personally identifiable information.
