While LifeLock used to include Norton Secure VPN on some individual plans, we are now seeing it as a feature only on the more expensive family plans.

For instance, you may rapidly browse the choices and turn on security safeguards for your phone and credit cards in the privacy area.

The annual subscription works out to $89.99 for the year, saving you money at a cost of $7.50 per month, or $9.99 per month for the first year. The LifeLock Standard package provides one bureau credit check monitoring, protection against social security number theft, up to $25,000 in theft protection insurance, and up to $1 million for attorneys and experts.
