    • Discuss with customers the information that’s shared, the institutions it’s shared with, and the steps taken to protect the information when it’s shared

    GLBA presents intrinsic challenges: how to balance transparency, security, and efficacy. To help you find a balance, we assess GLBA components with your operations in mind. We analyze GLBA to guarantee your financial organization’s compliance.

    FFIEC Regulations

    The FFIEC releases and updates a variety of tools, including a Cybersecurity Assessment Tool. With this, they detail regulatory demands and best practices such as:

    • How to assess your organization’s cybersecurity risk level
    • How to test and scan your network for vulnerable points of entry
    • Our compliance experts analyze the FFIEC updates and reports. We compare FFIEC best practices to the nuances of your operations. Then we recommend, based on that knowledge, practical policies and services.

    We also analyze another cybersecurity regulation: the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA). The GLBA mandates security standards for financial institutions, such as how to disclose your security practices to customers and how to protect their information.
