Cyberthreats and fraud (phishing attempts, cyberattacks, data theft or other schemes) are increasingly sophisticated and prevalent.

That's why we remain ever vigilant and implement cybersecurity best practices to prevent incidents and protect your personal information.

Cybersecurity is a shared responsibility

Even though we have stringent measures in place to safeguard your data, cybersecurity remains a shared responsibility.

As someone who runs or represents a business, you hold sensitive information, such as personal and tax data. A cyberattack or fraud could directly affect:

• your business
• your employees
• your clients
• your suppliers

Fraud prevention tips

Below are some tips for making fraud prevention part of your daily routine.

Keep authorizations, powers of attorney and access rights up to date

If an employee or accountant leaves or no longer has a relationship with your business, go to My Account for businesses and:

• Cancel their access rights using the User Accounts service
• Revoke authorizations and powers of attorney using the Manage Business Authorizations and Powers of Attorney service or the Manage Client Authorizations and Powers of Attorney service if you're an authorized representative

Check your information in My Account regularly

• Regularly check your information in My Account for businesses or My Account for professional representatives.
• Make sure your contact information (email address, phone number and bank information) is accurate and has not been changed without your knowledge.
