Issues Paper on Cyber Risk to the Insurance Sector Published in August 2016 Key messages Cyber resilience must be a concern for all insurers regardless of size, specialisation, or geographic reach. Supervisors need to enhance cyber resilience in the insurance sector, including through increased cooperation between and among the private and public sectors. Recommendation One or more Application Papers would be useful to provide further guidance on cybersecurity. The paper has identified, in particular, that guidance on (1) examination practices for supervisors; and (2) risk management practices for insurers, would be useful.

Application Paper on Supervising the Conduct of Intermediaries Approved this week and will be published soon on the IAIS website. Supports implementation of ICP18 (Intermediaries) and ICP 19 (Conduct of business). Complements an Application Paper on Conduct of Business Supervision (applicable to insurer supervision). Discusses intermediation and different types of intermediary – highlighting the diversity of intermediation markets. Drawing on a survey of IAIS Members, it documents approaches to intermediary supervision. Sets out supervisory requirements and approaches that promote good conduct of business by intermediaries. Uses a number of examples from IAIS Members jurisdictions.
