REGULATORY OVERVIEW:

Standards for safeguarding customer information, issued by several government regulatory agencies in response to Section 501 of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, require that financial institutions implement an information security program that considers specific technical safeguards for securing their customers’ nonpublic personal information. While the implementation of the technical safeguards listed in the guidelines has not been strictly enforced to this point, it is anticipated that the agencies will soon exert substantial pressure to adopt the appropriate controls. Specifically, GLBA requires companies to:

1. Ensure the security and confidentiality of customer records and information
2. Protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such record;
3. Protect against unauthorized access to or use of such records or information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer.
