Protecting You in an Increasingly Digital World
Following the email you will have received recently regarding cyber security, we wanted to share a few simple reminders to help you stay protected. Whilst the digital world brings many benefits and conveniences, it is important that we remain mindful of how we protect our personal information.
How We're Working to Keep Your Information Safe
We recently welcomed our cyber security experts, who work in the background every day to protect our systems and safeguard your information. Following their latest assessment, we were pleased to learn that our cyber security measures are approximately 35% stronger than the average firm of a similar size.
We also asked them to share some practical tips for our clients, which your Financial Planner will continue to discuss with you at upcoming meetings.
Simple Steps You Can Take to Protect Yourself Online
Use strong passwords or passphrases — for example, three random words or a memorable phrase, combined with numbers and symbols.
Use a different password for each important account and change them regularly.
Enable multi-factor authentication wherever possible for added protection.
Check whether your email has appeared in any known data breaches using haveibeenpwned.com.
Be cautious of unexpected emails, links, attachments, or requests for information.
Avoid unsecured public Wi-Fi when accessing sensitive information.
Be mindful of what you share on social media.
