TPR Cyber Resilience Guidance

Your member pension records, transfer values and bank details are a target. Find the weaknesses first.

Pension Administrators depend on pensions administration platforms, member portals and transfer workflows. HackGuardX continuously scans your website, email domain, cloud and code for security vulnerabilities, so you can fix weaknesses before they become costly breaches. Enterprise-grade protection without the enterprise price tag.

Your business is a target. Hackers only need one weakness.

A single cyberattack on one of the UK's pension administrators could expose member pension records, transfer values and bank details, halt day-to-day operations and trigger regulatory reporting, fines and lasting reputational damage. Small firms are not too small to be targeted. Automated attacks scan every UK business for an easy way in.

Why pension administrators are targeted: Pension schemes hold decades of member data and transfer large sums. TPR now expects trustees to evidence cyber controls.
