The purpose of the bill is to protect client\u2019s private information.  Subsequently, it requires institutions to explain how they share and protect their customers private information.\n\nRequirements\n\nThere are three requirements to meet the GLBA guidelines:  \n\u2022\tFinancial Privacy Rule - Regulates collection\/disclosure of private financial information. \n\u2022\tSafeguards Rule - Implement security programs to protect such information. Interestingly, this is very similar to HIPAA, in the way it includes secure services providers (same as business associates), physical and technical safeguards.\n\u2022\tPretexting Provisions - prohibit the practice of pretexting (accessing private information using false pretenses). \n\nIn addition, GLBA requires financial institutions to provide clients with written privacy notices that explain their internal information-sharing practices.\n\nSecure Service Providers Risk Assessment\n\nSecure Service Providers comprises of any company who stores, transmits, or has access to protected data on behalf of the covered entity.  Unfortunately, many Secure Service Provider take this requirement loosely and some won\u2019t even acknowledge they are a Secure Service Provider.  However, it is very clear to discern: if they can see it, store it, or transmit it, they are a Secure Service Provider.  Even more interesting is that it can even extend to their business partners or vendors.\n\nA good example of this is a call center collections company.  You hire the call center to call your customers to collect a debt.  The information you provide the company includes name, phone number, address, and amount owed.  Subsequently, that is 4 forms of protected data.  Unbeknownst to you, the company uses a third party for hosting services and backups.  That is another layer of Secure Service Providers. Clearly, this is why you need to verify they are GLBA compliant and so are their business partners whom they store, transmit, or have access to your data through them.  \n\nINSIs GLBA Assessment Program\n\nDo you need a GLBA risk assessment performed?
