Intro:
Have Questions?
Forum Fodder:
- OFAC: primary reasons for OFAC are to prevent funding of terrorist groups and narcotics cartels
- Compliance Support Group: "What is your financial institution doing to curtail chronic OFAC offenders?"
- Compliance is always a "people issue"
- Contests - 100% compliance earns reward - not a long term solution

- Fundamental problem #1: information overload. Distill into relevant information and specific procedures.

Episode #2 - July 31, 2009Episode length: 20 minutes, 26 seconds
Intro:Have Questions?What's Happening in the Forums?- Community: Geeks (IT Type Folks): Encrypting Emails
"Does anyone encrypt their emails? What method/software do you use? Or
maybe what do you use to encrypt files that you send via email?"
Zix CorpMailSafe from Perimeter: hosted solution
Compliance Challenge of the Week:Financial
institutions are required to monitor red flags for ID theft. A red flag
might be that a customer address change request is to an address that
cannot be validated by credit report, utility bill, etc. If the
institution cannot validate the address change it throws up a red flag.
These "red flags" require a response which might be as simple as
visiting the address to rule out that ID theft.
Our ActionPack
helps prevent ID theft by managing these red flags in the institution
and when it occurs facilitates personnel alerts and prompt response to
the identity theft. The ActionPack automatically audits and improves
the institution's ID theft protection program. The ActionPack is
complete with reporting, training and guidance tools. Everything you'll
need to Red Flags compliance. Here's what the ActionPack controls:- monitors ID theft incidents, so the institution can determine whether they have enough red flags to prevent ID theft
- sends
onDemand alerts such as suspicious activity to appropriate personnel.
For example: Jim Kisch's checks were stolen from the mailbox, all
tellers be on the alert!
- manages the list of accounts that
should be 'covered' by ID Theft Protection Program. Red flags should
generally be established for personal, family or household accounts.
- schedules the assessment to determine what degree these 'covered' accounts are vulnerable to ID theft exploits
- provides for a red flag detection and response analysis
- monitors
service provider red flags and ID theft protection measures, the
institutions compliance is dependent on it's service providers
- scheduled
ID theft awareness program complete with common methods of identity
theft. Our helpful information coupled with incident reports and any of
the institution's material will be circulated to personnel at least
annually.
- ID Theft Protection Program controls audit and "gap"
analysis is performed at least once a year. All weaknesses in the
institution's Red Flag will be addressed.
- informs clients of common weaknesses and regulator concerns.
FreePolicyFriday:The
purpose of an incident response plan is to establish a formal procedure
for handling suspected system intrusions, system misuse, or any
situation where unauthorized access to confidential or customer
information is detected.
