Frequently Asked Questions

How can we secure devices without slowing down our advisers?

+

Modern security solutions are designed for performance. Device encryption runs in the background using hardware acceleration; MFA adds 3-5 seconds to login once set up; VPN uses optimized protocols with minimal latency. We configure intelligent caching, local data access, and offline modes so advisers remain productive even during connectivity issues. Most advisers notice no performance degradation after the first week of adaptation.

Can we support personal BYOD devices securely?

+

Yes, with proper controls. We implement mobile device management (MDM) that separates work and personal data on BYOD devices, requiring encryption, MFA, and security compliance. Advisers maintain privacy while your firm ensures data protection. We can enforce wipe-on-demand if devices are lost or staff leave. Clear policies should define acceptable devices, supported platforms, and security requirements for BYOD enrollment.

What happens if an adviser loses or has a laptop stolen?

+

With full-disk encryption, lost devices remain secure even in malicious hands – drives are unreadable without encryption keys. MDM allows remote wipe of lost devices, and network access is immediately revoked. We maintain location tracking on managed devices enabling recovery before loss becomes critical. Advisers should report loss immediately so we can revoke credentials and monitor for unauthorized access attempts.

How do advisers securely access Xplan and IRESS remotely?

+

We deploy secure VPN with zero-trust architecture and MFA, ensuring only compliant devices can establish connections to Xplan and IRESS. Many firms also implement remote desktop or application streaming services encrypting data in transit. Conditional access policies can enforce additional verification for sensitive operations like portfolio changes or client data export. We coordinate with Xplan/IRESS vendors on security best practices specific to their platforms.

What compliance obligations apply to remote advisers?

+

ASIC requires advisers to maintain secure access controls regardless of work location. AFS Licensee compliance expectations include encryption for data in transit, MFA for access, and secure network connectivity. Privacy Act requires protection of personal information of staff and clients. We implement controls meeting these standards and document compliance for regulatory review. Regular security audits verify ongoing compliance across all remote locations and devices.

How do we onboard remote staff to new offices securely?

+

New remote staff should receive fully encrypted, pre-configured devices on day one with all security software deployed. MFA should be enrolled immediately with backup authentication methods configured. Network access provisioning should follow role-based policies. We provide new adviser onboarding guides covering secure connectivity, password management, and incident reporting. First-week support helps advisers adapt to security requirements before managing client relationships.
