Every advisor is a way in to every client.
A registered firm holds the identity of every household it advises. One advisor inbox that can be impersonated is a way to write to all of them, in the firm's own name.
Scoped per firm. Mutual NDA before anything specific.
Three reporting deadlines a wealth firm should know.
Notify affected customers as soon as practicable and no later than 30 days after becoming aware of unauthorized access to sensitive customer information.
Notify the FTC of a notification event involving 500 or more customers.
Notify affected residents when certain personal information is breached. Timing and content differ.
Report a breach that creates a real risk of significant harm to the Privacy Commissioner and tell the people affected.
Notify the Commission d'accès à l'information and the people concerned of an incident that risks serious injury and keep a register of every confidentiality incident.
A summary of published rules, not legal advice. The Rules and Insurance Briefing names the rules that apply to the firm.
Bios and direct contact details are published by design.
A message from a known advisor clears scrutiny a stranger's never would.
Onboarding files and portal access sit in one estate.
SEC Regulation S-P and state rules turn an incident into a filing.
The full external watch, the proof for every finding and the fix.
Each finding attributed to the person it belongs to, so the fix lands with a name.
Look-alike domains, forgeable mail and the public detail a convincing message needs.
Email settings, look-alikes and new host names re-read every hour, the rest every day, with an alert to a named contact the same day.
A dated record of the diligence performed, kept until you ask us to delete it.
