Continuous protection.
Always evolving.
Cybersecurity is on everyone's mind.
From plan sponsors to participants, cybersecurity is on everyone's mind—and everyone expects you to protect their data. Here's what we're doing to help protect privacy and prevent fraud.
Federal Trade Commission
Our enterprisewide security strategy protects account holders with a combination of technology, policies, and processes. Cybersecurity is a responsibility we take very seriously, and these are the measures we take:
T. Rowe Price makes every effort to ensure that participant interactions are not only seamless, but also well protected through robust security practices for authentication.
Multifactor authentication provides an additional layer of security to normal login requirements and call center interactions. It requires participants to provide information that only they have access to: a code they must enter during login or provide to our call center representatives at the start of their phone call.
Multifactor authentication is required for all participants, who are guided through the setup process during login or when creating their online account.
Dark market monitoring provides another layer of cutting-edge fraud protection for participant accounts. It screens participant website login credentials against emails and passwords recovered from data breaches to help reduce the risk of a fraudulent account takeover.
The service creates security alerts when passwords associated with participants' email addresses are located on the dark web. When passwords associated with a data breach match participants' retirement plan login credentials, we alert impacted participants and lock their accounts as a security precaution.
The T. Rowe Price Account Protection Program is designed to assure plan sponsors and participants that their accounts are protected in the event of fraud. Under the program, we'll restore eligible account losses caused by unauthorized activity* when plans and participants follow some best practices.
Plan sponsors and participants should contact us as soon as possible if they suspect a potential breach or fraudulent activity.
*All reported concerns will be thoroughly investigated to determine program applicability. The Account Protection Program may not apply if the security best practices outlined in this document are not followed.
