Which safeguard is in place for Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs) to share information securely according...

 According to the Egmont Group of Financial Intelligence Units Principles for Information Exchange Between Financial Intelligence Units, one of the channels for the exchange of information between FIUs is the Egmont Secure Web (ESW), which is a secure and encrypted communication system that allows FIUs to share information and expertise1. The ESW is accessible to all members of the FIU who have been authorized by the FIU head or his/her delegate1. The other options are not correct because:

B. Information sharing is not always conducted according to processes contained in Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs). The Egmont Group encourages FIUs to exchange information regardless of the existence of an MOU1.

C. Intelligence is not shared via messaging applications. This would not be a secure or reliable way of exchanging sensitive information.

D. Investigators are not allowed to request information from a foreign FIU directly. Requests for information must be made through the FIU of the requesting country1.
