The importance of pension scheme cybersecurity

The importance of pension scheme cybersecurity cannot be understated. Organisations managing pension schemes will have access to a considerable amount of very personal and sensitive information for a lot of people. They are also responsible for managing the finances of those who are putting money into the pension schemes, so security is absolutely essential to get right.

Hackers do target organisations where financial information is being stored and processed because of the nature of how sensitive this kind of data is. It could be used to exploit people and steal money or commit identity fraud, which could then have a significant impact on those who are affected by such crimes.

We want to feel secure when it comes to knowing that our considerable investment in our future is in the hands of an organisation we must put trust in. Any breach of that trust that arises from poor or inadequate cybersecurity can be very difficult to deal with.

When could you be eligible to pursue compensation?

If a pension scheme cybersecurity attack has resulted in the misuse and/or exposure of your personal information, you could be entitled to pursue a GDPR compensation claim. You could be entitled to seek damages for any distress that you have suffered from that is caused by the loss of control of your personal information. This distress could be considerable given the nature of the information about you that could now be in the hands of criminals, with the knowledge that at any point it could be used to try and commit fraud and theft. If you have also suffered any actual fraud or theft that is directly linked to a data breach then this can be considered as part of the case as well, but you can just claim for the distress alone.

We are specialist privacy compensation experts and we can tell you now that you could be entitled to pursue thousands of pounds for a breach of the GDPR when it comes to a pension scheme cybersecurity incident.

No Win, No Fee legal representation

If we consider that there is a claim to pursue, we may be able to represent you for a legal case on and No Win, No Fee basis. This means that we can write off our legal fees if the case does not succeed, and all you need to do is make sure to comply with the reasonable terms and conditions in place.

We work this way because we believe in access to justice, and we think it is the only fair way in which people should be able to claim for some form of justice for what they have had to go through. We do not think it would be fair if you had to pay to pursue a case if you lost, and this could put a lot of people off from claiming.
