Benefits of omniac

Discover the benefits of omniac in comparison to virus scanners and free tools, and learn about the added value it provides in your everyday digital life.

No, the subscription does not provide any insurance against identity theft. If desired, you will have to take out an appropriate policy separately through an insurance provider.

Omniac detects when your data has been published at an early stage and warns you immediately. By doing so, we help you better protect yourself against exploitation in the form of fake accounts, payment fraud or phishing. In serious situations, you get specific instructions on how to protect your identity, retrieve your accounts or limit the damage.

A virus scanner protects your device against malicious software. On the other hand, omniac is more like an early warning system safeguarding your personal data on the internet. Virus scanners search for malware on your mobile phone or PC. Omniac checks whether your personal data has been compromised in data leaks or otherwise exposed.

Omniac is a great choice for anyone who is active online and uses digital services. No matter how careful you are, criminals may gain access to your data at any time and exploit it for unlawful purposes. The damage done may be purely financial, but may also undermine your integrity, up to and including identity theft. With omniac, you find out who has your data and how you can take action.

Free tools often just show you where your e-mail address has been misused. Omniac actively monitors 39 types of data, more than any other provider. The data monitoring feature on the app searches the internet, deep web and dark web around the clock and gives you immediate instructions as soon as action is required. Furthermore, all your data is encrypted and hosted in Germany in compliance with GDPR.

It makes sense to have a smoke detector, even if your house has never been on fire before. Omniac helps you proactively protect yourself before a data leak can harm you. In 2024, 61% of Germans were victims of cybercrime (Bitkom, 2025). We don’t just contact you in an emergency; we also provide regular “all-clear” notifications.
