Securing Your Data

Safeguarding Your Personal Information

Protecting sensitive client information is an important part of the work we do on your behalf. Through LPL Financial (LPL) and Commonwealth, a trade name of LPL, our practice is supported by data safety and security practices designed to help safeguard personal and financial information.

LPL Financials’ information security efforts focus on monitoring, detecting, preventing, and responding to potential cyber threats. LPL also maintains a Security Operation Center dedicated to protecting client data across its systems, products, platforms, and tools.

Security Measures

Security incorporated into the systems and tools used to support advisors and clients may include:

Secure, masked, and encrypted sensitive data

Multifactor authentication

Biometric login options, such as Face ID and Touch ID

Fraud alerts when suspicious activity occurs on user profiles

These safeguards are intended to help protect sensitive information and reduce the risk of unauthorized access.

Cyber Fraud Guarantee

LPL offers a Cyber Fraud Guarantee that may reimburse clients for 100% of realized losses in impacted LPL accounts when those losses are incurred directly as a result of unauthorized access to an LPL system.

Terms and conditions apply. For more information, please visit go.lpl.com/cyber-fraud.html.

Regulatory Standards

LPL follows regulations and guidance designed to protect investors, including the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), SEC cybersecurity guidance, and FINRA cybersecurity rules.

These requirements help guide how sensitive client information is protected and how cybersecurity risks are addressed.

An Ongoing Commitment

Cybersecurity threats continue to evolve, and protecting sensitive information requires ongoing attention. Commonwealth and LPL remain focused on maintaining security practices designed to safeguard client data and support the systems advisors use to serve their clients.
