Security Practices
Corporate staff members have access to and develop a great deal of information related to the company and its business. In most cases, that information is the property of the Corporation or another party (e.g. a joint-venture partner or vendor). In all cases, corporate staff must protect corporate information from unauthorized use, disclosure or access. Corporate information in any form - electronic, transmitted, printed, and verbal - is a valuable corporate asset. This Corporate Information Security Practice establishes the company's universal standards for protecting corporate information. The goal of Trust Management Services Inc. Information Security Practice is to provide an environment that enables maximum, safe sharing of corporate information while maintaining the security of sensitive information and complying with the Information Management Policy.
Responsibilities
Every corporate staff member is personally responsible for protecting corporate information against unauthorized use, disclosure, or access. That includes understanding and complying with this practice and any related policies, practices, or guidelines, as well as reporting incidents involving unauthorized use, disclosure, or access to corporate information.
Information Classification and Confidentiality
Trust Management Services Inc. classifies corporate information to determine how that information should be kept secure. Unless otherwise classified, corporate information is to be treated as "Corporate Internal," meaning it can be freely shared between Trust Management Services Inc. staff. If information is more or less sensitive than this, it is the responsibility of the individual who developed or provided the information to properly classify it and ensure it is handled appropriately. All staff members are responsible for preserving the confidentiality of any corporate information they access, develop or provide.
Information and Information Systems Ownership
Corporate information developed by or for the company is owned by Trust Management Services Inc. unless otherwise defined by contracts or law. The company also owns information systems (e.g. computers, paper files, audio or video recordings) in which corporate information is held. As a result, Trust Management Services Inc. holds the right to review, access, and disclose for security, investigative, maintenance, and legal purposes, the contents of all information stored on or transmitted through its information systems.
Digital Information Access
Corporate staff members are given access to corporate digital information systems (e.g. computer networks) through personal accounts. The company monitors, logs, and audits system activity and can trace actions back to individual accounts. Each staff member is assigned an account and is responsible for all activity that occurs under that account. Staff must protect their accounts through the use of strong passwords and must not share their accounts or passwords.
Information Systems Protection
Trust Management Services Inc. protects its information systems through multiple security controls (e.g. firewalls, security cards, virus protection). All staff members are required to comply with security controls at all times. Unauthorized connections to company information systems are forbidden. Attempts to bypass, disable or defeat these controls will be considered a breach of policy. Monitoring or tampering with company information systems, external sites, or email messages is prohibited. Only software purchased by the company may be installed on company systems.
Trust Management Services Inc. contracts independent audits and assessments of company information systems in cooperation with Information Security as part of a regular security review process.
Appropriate Use
Staff must apply reasonable care and judgment in using email and the internet during their work for the company. Policies and practices related to confidentiality, privacy, and appropriate business conduct must be applied to email use in the same manner as any other business communications.
Company staff must be aware of and comply with intellectual property rights (e.g. copyrights, patent rights, trade secrets) according to the law. Staff may only use the information for which they have been given authority through their employment or engagement contracts and job requirements.
Waivers
Deviations from this practice require signed waivers from Information Security. Waivers are granted temporarily and require joint approval from Information Security and the relevant business unit leader.
Violations
Violation of this practice and its associated guidelines may result in disciplinary actions that can include, among other actions, dismissal or legal action. Reports of violations of this practice will be forwarded to the appropriate business unit leader, Human Resources and Information Security. In cases where local or international law is violated, the company has a responsibility to involve the relevant law enforcement agencies.
Policy Purpose and Scope
This policy describes Trust Management Services Inc.'s risk management principles and expectations applicable to all types of risk in all activities undertaken by or on behalf of the company. It also outlines the roles and responsibilities of the Board of Directors, the President & Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Risk Officer, the Divisional Presidents and Executive Vice-Presidents of Corporate Groups, the role of the Advisory Board, and all staff. Definitions of significant terms in this Policy are outlined in the company Risk Glossary.

Corporate Risk Management Policy

Corporate Risk Management Principles
Risk is often defined as the chance of something happening, measured in terms of probability and impact. At Trust Management Services Inc., a principal risk is defined as the chance of something happening, measured in terms of probability and impact, that may adversely affect the achievement of the company’s strategic or major business objectives.
Risk management is a structured and disciplined approach to assessing and managing the uncertainties that the company faces as it creates value and preserves value.
Trust Management Services Inc. believes risk-taking is a necessary and accepted part of our business. Effectively managing risk is a competitive necessity and an integral part of creating corporate value through good business practices designed to ensure that the company achieves its strategic, business, and governance objectives, and protects its corporate reputation, values, and integrity. In the context of realizing strategic objectives, some amount of failure is an acceptable outcome of risk-taking as long as risks have been properly assessed and managed.
Trust Management Services Inc. acknowledges that all activity has an element of risk and that not all risks can or should be transferred. The company is committed to managing risks including strategic risks, at all levels in the organization and summarizes these risks into three broad categories: operational risk; financial risk; and safety, environmental and regulatory risk. Since many risks can impact our reputation, all risks must be evaluated in terms of the potential impact on our reputation.
Trust Management Services Inc. does not engage in speculative activity which is defined as a profit-seeking activity unrelated to the company’s primary business.
Risk Management Expectations
Risk management applies to and will be practiced by Article II, The Company's Risk Management Principles as a part of all of the company’s activities including developing strategic plans, preparing operational plans and capital budgets, completing detailed project approval requests, designing and managing project plans, operating corporate facilities and assets, as a part of other management systems and generally, in all decision making processes.
Trust Management Services Inc.'s overall risk appetite and risk tolerance will be determined by the President & Chief Executive Officer in conjunction with the Executive Team and reported on by the Chief Risk Officer to the Board of Directors.
Risk will be evaluated, managed, and documented consistent with guidelines, tools, and frameworks advocated by this Corporate Risk Management Policy and other company risk management policies, guidelines, or practices such as the Market Risk Mitigation Policy. In all cases, risk will be evaluated in terms of the impact on the following areas: people, environment, assets, financial/business objectives, and reputation. The risk will be assigned a probability of occurrence, with a resulting risk level ranging from low to extreme.
Risks identified as extreme, high, or medium will require the implementation of a risk transfer, reduction, elimination, or exploitation strategy to reduce the residual risk level to as low as reasonably practicable. Risks identified as extreme or high with an impact above a specified threshold will be reported to the President & Chief Executive Officer or appropriate Divisional President or Executive Vice-President of Corporate Groups, and the Chief Risk Officer.
Trust Management Services Inc. Risk Matrix is a tool that may be used to assess, measure and report risks. Trust Management Services Inc. Risk Matrix may not be readily applied to all risk areas but the concepts of impact and probability must be addressed in all cases. For example, emerging risks are those circumstances or factors which may be new to the company and may lack quantifiable impact or probability at a particular time. Emerging risks should be separately identified, and qualitative assessments of their impacts and probabilities should be provided.
Trust Management Services Inc.'s Risk Matrix will be the foundation for developing any risk sub-matrices in the Corporation. Sub-matrices will align with Trust Management Services Inc. Risk Matrix and will require the approval of the Chief Risk Officer.
Risk management reports will be maintained by Divisions and Corporate Groups and provided to the Chief Risk Officer at least quarterly for consolidation.
