Steps taken to protect your confidential information

To protect your information and assets, VirtualWealth employs extensive physical, electronic and procedural security controls, regularly adapting them as technology and threats evolve. Although we cannot fully disclose all of our controls, here are just a few of the security measures we take:

 

When you sign up for your VirtualWealth account, you create your own personal password to login (your "Login Password"). Together with your Customer username, your Login Password allows you encrypted, secure access to your VirtualWealth accounts. Never give your Customer Username or Login Password to anyone under any circumstances.

 

No matter how you contact VirtualWealth — online or by phone — we verify your identity before granting you access to your VirtualWealth accounts.

 

VirtualWealth automatically logs you off after an extended period of inactivity. This reduces the risk that others could access your information from your unattended computer.

 

To block unauthorized access, all of our computer systems are protected by firewalls, which are electronic barriers that prevent unauthorized access to the VirtualWealth networks.

 

VirtualWealth employs some of the strongest methods of encryption commercially available today. All online activity with VirtualWealth involving personal or sensitive information is encrypted with 256-bit or greater encryption from the point it leaves your computer until it enters our systems. For your general online security, be sure you see the letter "s" at the end of "https" at the beginning of the URL address before entering any sensitive information — this indicates the site is secure (e.g., "https://www.virtualwealth.ca"). Similarly, another indication that a website is secure is a padlock beside the URL address.

 

VirtualWealth security teams monitor our systems around-the-clock, ensuring you have timely and secure access to your accounts.

 

We restrict access to systems containing customer data and monitor system access continuously.

 

VirtualWealth employees receive thorough training on our security policy and are held accountable for adhering to the policy.
