Structurally, Voya Financial Advisors is a subsidiary of Voya Financial, Inc., a publicly traded company listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker VOYA.

In February 2023, the firm experienced a data breach when an unauthorized party accessed an employee’s email account, resulting in the exposure of consumer information including names, addresses, and Social Security numbers; the organization subsequently secured its network, conducted an investigation, confirmed the data exposure, and notified the affected individuals. This incident highlights the importance of cybersecurity controls within the financial services sector.
