Orion has engaged the identity and information security firm SecureAuth to further strengthen its security measures to keep client financial account data safe.

Orion Advisor Services is now using SecureAuth Corporation’s IdP program to provide authentication measures for its portfolio management system, which is also accessible to clients.

Orion Connect allows RIAs, TAMPs and broker-dealers to generate performance reports and use model portfolios to execute trades across managed custodial client accounts. Orion also offers advisors a client portal for their clients, which will also benefit from SecureAuth IdP’s authentication process.

“We believe our product’s multi-factor and adaptive authentication will meet Orion’s security needs and provide peace of mind that the company’s valuable data is protected,” said the CEO of SecureAuth, Craig Lund.

“Being proactive about increasing the security around the important information we store for advisors and their clients is a critical area of focus for us,” said Eric Clarke, president and CEO of Orion.
