  1. Important cybersecurity readiness guidance As an advisor, you collect and store clients’ sensitive personal information. Protecting this information is essential. In July 2023, the Canadian Insurance Services Regulatory Organization (CISRO) released a guide on Cybersecurity Readiness. It includes tips on keeping this sensitive client data and your business systems safe. 

    Please read the guide in full. Also, check your own practices to be cyber ready and reduce your risk of an incident. 

    Some key tips in the guide include:

    1. Make cybersecurity a priority: Stay alert to cyber threats. These can be suspicious emails, texts or calls. Make sure your team knows how to keep your data and systems safe and has clear, documented processes to follow.

    2. Know what to protect: Understand what data and business systems need to be protected. 

    3. Identify the risks: Spot the risks in your practice and those from third-party service providers.

    4. Implement security measures: Take steps to protect your data and business systems.


    5. Be ready to respond: Know how to spot and react to cyber incidents. The guide has useful tips on creating a Cyber Incident Response Plan.

    And lastly – if you receive client instructions electronically (by email, text, or messaging apps), always confirm these over the phone to ensure it’s really the client sending the instructions.

    Keep your business and important client data safe by staying informed and alert. We encourage you to read the full  Cybersecurity Readiness document to learn more about how to prepare for cyber threats.

    In our industry, protecting clients’ sensitive data and systems is essential. Thank you for your commitment to cybersecurity!

  4. Let’s “Talk Money”: Helping clients feel better about their finances This November is Financial Literacy Month, and the theme is simple but powerful: “Talk Money.” The goal is simple—get Canadians talking about money.

    Money and mental health are connected
    Many Canadians feel stressed about money. That stress can affect their mental health. As an advisor, you can help by starting honest conversations. When clients talk about their worries, they’re more likely to take action and feel better.

    How advisors can help
    You don’t need to be a therapist. Just listen, ask questions, and offer simple steps. Here are a few ideas:

     
    Let’s talk money
    Talking about money helps people feel stronger and more in control. This month, let’s help clients open up, take action, and build better habits—financially and emotionally.
