In the age of digital advancement, safeguarding our members' data is paramount. That's why at South Yorkshire Pensions Authority (SYPA), we prioritise the protection of sensitive information against the rising tide of cyber threats.
Through our Cyber Essentials Plus certification, endorsed by the government, we fortify SYPA against the evolving landscape of cyber-attacks. This rigorous scheme equips us to defend against a variety of common cyber threats, bolstering the resilience of our organisation's infrastructure.
Given the substantial volume of financial and member data stored within our systems, maintaining the Cyber Essentials Plus certification is not just a regulatory obligation but a testament to our unwavering dedication to cyber security. It underscores our pledge to keep your data safe and secure within our IT systems.
Having attained both Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus certifications for the past few years, we remain steadfast in our commitment to upholding the highest standards of data protection. We are currently in the process of renewing these certifications, ensuring continued vigilance against emerging threats.

Two SYPA members have starring roles in the new LGPS recruitment campaign
26/04/2024
|
|
|
The LGPS is a brilliant place to work, consistently delivering value for and on behalf of around 6 million scheme members across the country.
This new video brings to life the variety of roles in the LGPS and tells the stories of two of our members – Debbie, a librarian, and Eddy, a flood risk manager.
Both are looking forward to financial security in retirement thanks to the LGPS. It’s public servants like Debbie and Eddy that the LGPS ultimately serves, and it was great to see them getting involved in this campaign telling their own stories.
Give it a watch
The video also touches on how, as one of the largest pension funds in the world, the LGPS is playing a crucial role in advancing sustainability and supporting renewable projects.
At SYPA, we have a big recruitment campaign starting soon for a variety of roles within our Pensions Administration team, so look out on our website and social media for more about these roles as well as our own

videos that show why SYPA is such a great place to work.

Pensions Increase 2024
27/03/2024
|
|
|
The Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) is designed to protect its members’ pensions from inflation. Each year in April, the LGPS is adjusted based on the cost of living to ensure that the value of the pensions does not decrease over time.
For 2024, the Pensions Increase has been confirmed as 6.7%.
This increase will be applied from 8 April 2024 to both pensions in payment and deferred pensions. This means that the amount of
pension you receive or are entitled to receive in the future will increase by 6.7% to help maintain its value in real terms.
Remember, it’s important to regularly review your pension and understand these increases as part of your retirement planning.
