Security Issues Work Group
This work group has generated excellent tools around security and privacy for agents and brokers. The group investigates emerging security issues and determines what guidance we need to provide our IA distribution.
Prior projects have included the creation of resources like the 'Agency Security Issues Pocket Guide and supporting Reference Guide to aid agents in setting their security strategy. These guides cover topics such as data encryption, updating security plans, data breaches, and laws, issues with mobile devices, texting, and others. ACT also partnered with the Center for Internet Security, offering free 'Cyber Hygiene' toolkits for agents. The group also created an additional resource to assist agents with understanding and taking action on emerging ADA & Accessibility challenges, including the alarming volume of compliance lawsuits against independent agent websites.
One of the more significant accomplishments of the group was the release of a online version of the 'Agency Cyber Guide 3.0'. This resource addresses security regulations from entities like Gramm-Leach-Bliley, NYDFS, and the NAIC. The Guide provides descriptions and resources for regulations, including a downloadable template to create an Agency Cybersecurity Policy, as well as a matrix of cybersecurity service providers. The current focus of the workgroup is to re-think this cyberguide and offer the plentiful resources in a new format that will provide agencies the information they need to know/do, tools and resources to help when planning that strategy and ways to stay current beyond ACT.
