Cybersecurity for ERISA Plan Sponsors & Fiduciaries: What In-House Counsel Need to Know (On Demand)

Cybersecurity for ERISA Plan Sponsors & Fiduciaries: What In-House Counsel Need to Know (On Demand) Mark Vitek (not verified)
On-Demand

In April 2021, the U.S. Department of Labor issued cybersecurity best practices for benefit plan fiduciaries. Since then, DOL is actively enforcing cybersecurity in its investigations of both retirement plans and health and welfare plans – especially those that have experienced a data breach. The recent MOVEit cyber incident demonstrates that just one vendor's software defect can result in lawsuits and can affect hundreds of plan sponsors, millions of plan participants, and investment funds in the trillion-dollar range. In Walsh v. Alight Solutions, the Seventh Circuit ruled that DOL has authority to issue subpoenas in the course of its cybersecurity investigations. In this session, we will discuss the latest cybersecurity related litigation and focus on practical steps you can take to mitigate the cyber risks posed by your own ecosystem of benefit plan fiduciaries and service providers.

We all have lists of policies and procedures we'd like to see updated, revised or implemented. But how do you prioritize a long list of must-haves, knowing that in reality you won't get to all of them right away? Is a document retention policy more or less important than a Foreign Corrupt Practices Act policy? What about policies that depend on other organizations, but often involve (or are driven by) legal, like information security and privacy policies, business continuity plans, etc.? Which ones can be safely patched together or temporarily left alone, and which need to be addressed immediately? This session will give you the information to prioritize policy needs for your company so that you don’t look back and second-guess your choices.
