SUMMARY:Sackers webinar: Data\, data everywhere
DESCRIPTION:Pension scheme trustees and administrators have important duties around handling personal data in the digital age. They are also subject to greater scrutiny from members\, industry bodies and the media and are increasingly experiencing the fall out of data breaches and cyber attacks. \nSackers Pensions and Investment Litigation team is hosting a webinar which looks at the risks facing pension schemes and discusses approaches that may help mitigate those risks. We will look at how data breaches can impact on pension schemes\, the tactics used to obtain information from schemes through DSARs and what trustees can do to protect themselves from liability. The session will highlight key trends and practical steps that trustees can take.

SUMMARY:PASA Data Guidance release
DESCRIPTION:PASA today launched its Data Management Plan Guidance in conjunction with PASA Expert Knowledge Provider for Data\, Deloitte. \nChris Tagg\, PASA Board Director\, commented: “The importance of managing the quality of pension scheme data is greater than ever\, and rightly so. Developments in legislation and regulation – such as GDPR\, GMP equalisation\, buy-in/ buy-out and pensions dashboard – have pushed data quality and management to the top of the agenda for both the trustees of pension schemes and their employers. It’s now becoming critical for data to be complete and accurate for a scheme to meet its duty to members\, as well as legislative requirements\, but it’s a big task and the difficulty for many schemes lies in what to prioritise. \nKristy Cotton\, Chair of the PASA Data Working Group continued: “Holding complete and accurate data goes hand-in-hand with meeting the primary objective of any pension scheme – to pay the right benefits\, to the right person\, at the right time. A Data Management Plan (DMP) is a critical scheme document and forms part of good scheme governance. It’s implementation offers a means of documenting the data held by a pension scheme and a policy for managing it effectively. \nThis Guidance sets out\, at a high level\, the purpose of a DMP and the information which it may be expected to include such as processing\, security and improvement. We would encourage all trustees to review the completeness\, accuracy and appropriateness of their data and integrate a DMP as part of their wider risk management framework.” \nThe full guidance can be found here.

SUMMARY:PASA Dashboard Guidance released
DESCRIPTION:PASA today unveiled their dashboard guidance for UK pension schemes\, trustees and providers on how to start getting ready for pensions dashboards. \nChris Connelly\, Chair of the PASA Dashboard Working Group commented: “The main message with this guidance is a very clear one. You should start preparing now! Pensions dashboards have been on the horizon for some time\, but now the Pension Schemes Act 2021 has received Royal Assent we can expect The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to consult on detailed dashboards regulations and  Regulators to begin supporting pension providers and schemes comply with their dashboards compulsion duties.  We would also expect the Pensions Dashboards Programme (PDP)\, to publish further detailed instructions on how you must operate with the dashboards ecosystem.  But you don’t need to wait for all of this before you make a start.  This guidance aims  to explain what schemes and providers should be doing now to incorporate the requirements for dashboards.” \nChris added: “Almost every aspect of managing a pension scheme is easier to achieve if you actively manage data.  A good strategy will incorporate both ongoing and one-off scheme-specific data activities. We will also shortly issue guidance on Data Management Plans\, which all pension schemes should be looking to develop and implement to manage their data strategy. Pensions dashboards\, if done well\, could be a game changer in getting people to engage with their pensions\, and a better efficiency of pension scheme management full stop.  As an organisation PASA wants to play its role in ensuring the industry is as supported as possible in getting things ready and compliant.” \nThe full guidance can be found here. \n

SUMMARY:Press release - PASA celebrates 10th anniversary year
DESCRIPTION:PASA celebrates its 10th Anniversary in Industry this year. \nKim Gubler\, PASA Chair\, commented: “When PASA launched 10 years ago the landscape was very different and administration sat\, very firmly\, at the bottom of most trustee agendas – even though it is (and was) a crucial component in successfully delivering so many projects. Although people acknowledged standards in pensions administration needed to be raised\, they were less sure how to achieve it and there was little impetus to drive change.   Our aim with PASA was to be that conduit for change.  We wanted to create a modern\, forward thinking association fit for 21st Century\, driving up standards through Accreditation\, support and Guidance.  Member outcomes have always been\, and remain\, core to our raison d’etre.  They are at the heart of all we do. \n“Happily\, it’s clear the Industry now fully appreciates and acknowledges the crucial role administration plays in the running of effective pension schemes in delivering better outcomes to members.  But our job is not done\, we must be forward thinking.  In 10 years from now how pensions are delivered\, who delivers them and what form they take could all be different.  One thing is sure – whatever shape they take – pensions will have to be administered and transitioned.  There is also the short and medium term to think about.  Just because the industry has finally ‘got’ the message that administration is important\, we can’t sit on our laurels.  We must be proactive and pre-empt what might be around the corner so we can be prepared and ensure administration continues to get the focus it needs.” \nGubler added: “PASA has been proud to work alongside our members\, Expert Partners\, volunteers and Government to support the Industry in delivering pensions to members.  This is fundamentally what it’s all about.  I would like to thank all of the talented and expert individuals who have given their time\, sitting on our Board\, Committees and Working Groups to support us in producing the first class Guidance we have been able to release. Huge thanks also to our members and the Industry who have championed us all the way.  We couldn’t have done it without you all.  2021 is looking to be another busy year for us.  As well as a great deal more Guidance scheduled for release on issues including GMP Equalisation\, Exit Agreements\, Fraud and Data\, we have a few surprises up our sleeves to celebrate PASA’s coming of age. Watch this space!” \nENDS

SUMMARY:PASA Cybercrime & Fraud Working Group Update
DESCRIPTION:PASA issued new guidance on cybercrime protection towards the end of last year\, but the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics show the importance of this guidance being implemented. \nReleased this week\, they reveal for the 12 months ending September 2020 there were 1\,679\,000 incidents of cybercrime. This compares with 876\,000 cybercrime incidents in the 12 months ending March 2020. Post-COVID there has been a 91.7% increase in cybercrime. \nThese shocking increases are some of the sharpest ever recorded for any type of crime. \nThe latest manifestations of cybercrime include: \n\nAn increase in the number of fake websites being set up;\nCybercrime as a Service (‘CAAS’) becoming more prevalent (where cybercriminals are ‘hired’ to attack an organisation with a ‘menu’ of prices and types of attack); and\nThe use of Artificial Intelligence to target vulnerabilities and vulnerable organisations\, so the cybercrime businesses can make what they do as efficient and profitable as possible.\n\nEvery administrator should make sure (1) they are as well protected as possible (2) they are able to ‘manage’ an attack if one happens and (3) they are able to respond\, investigate what has happened and mitigate any damage. You can download PASA’s guidance here.
