You already receive alerts for personal risks like potential identity theft that help protect you from harm. Shouldn’t your company get the same level of protection?

That’s where **Critical Business Alerts** in Conductor come in. These alerts act as an **early-warning system**, flagging potential risks to your business before they escalate into costly problems. With timely, automated insights, you can take action quickly without waiting on buyers or support teams.

## What are Critical Business Alerts?

Critical Business Alerts are real-time notifications that help you stay ahead of threats and vulnerabilities. They highlight **risk signals** across financial, operational, and cyber categories so you can take immediate steps to protect your business and maintain trust with your buyers.

Think of them as a security radar for your company: scanning for risk, notifying you of red flags, and giving you the opportunity to remediate issues before they turn into crises.

## Types of Critical Business Alerts you’ll receive

Here are some examples of the alerts you may see:

- **Remit-to Banking Account Changed**  
  You’ll be notified if your remit-to account is changed for payments from listed buyers.
- **Remit-to Address Changed**  
  Alerts you when your remit-to address is updated for payments from listed buyers.
- **Contact Information Changed or New Contact Added**  
  Notifies you when your supplier account contact details are updated, or a new contact is added.
- **Cyber Score Is High Risk**  
  Lets you know if your company’s vulnerability to cyberattacks reaches a high-risk level.
- **Cyber Score Increased by More Than 15%**  
  Signals a sudden spike in cyber risk so you can act quickly.
- **Equifax™ Score Dropped**  
  Alerts you if your business credit score decreases, impacting financial credibility.
- **Business Not Found on Secretary of State List**  
  Warns you if your business cannot be verified in the Secretary of State’s database.
- **Registered Bank on Prohibited List**  
  Notifies you if your bank account is flagged on a prohibited or restricted list such as for sanctions, AML, or CFT.

## Why these alerts matter

Every one of these alerts is designed to give you a **head start on risk management**. Instead of discovering issues too late, after they have already impacted payments, credibility, or compliance, you’ll be empowered to:

- Act quickly on critical changes
- Protect your reputation with buyers and partners
- Safeguard your payments from fraud and disruption
- Strengthen your resilience against cyber and financial risks

## In summary

Your business deserves the same level of protection as your personal identity. With **Critical Business Alerts**, you get:

- Early warnings on key risk signals
- Real-time visibility into critical business changes
- The ability to act before issues escalate

It’s proactive protection that keeps you and your buyers one step ahead.
