Protection
Good financial habits can easily be deterred by unexpected life events. Protect your money with the right insurance, 2-factor authentication on your sensitive financial accounts, a strong estate plan, and more. Learn about the ways you can protect your money below.
Life insurance
Life insurance is designed to protect your dependents in the event something happens to you. As with other types of insurance, there are options for coverage types and amounts. Iron Mountain offers life insurance benefits through Lincoln Financial to help you plan for the future.

Short- and Long-Term Disability
Iron Mountain pays the full cost of basic Short-Term Disability (STD) and basic Long-Term Disability (LTD) benefits for full-time Mountaineers scheduled to work 30 or more hours per week. So, if you have a qualified medical condition or injury, you’ll have a source of income while you recover.
Beneficiaries
What is a beneficiary? Find out in under a minute!
Having a beneficiary assigned to your accounts is an important step you don’t want to miss. In the event something happens to you, you want to ensure your loved ones are protected and receive the assets you intend for them to have. If you’ve had a recent life event, such as marriage, divorce, or welcoming a child, it’s a good time to check who is listed as your beneficiary and update it, if necessary.
