GLBA Compliance in a Changing Business Environment

In today’s highly regulated environment, enterprises are increasingly strained by regulatory compliance concerns, while at the same time having to promote the ongoing conduct of business. Executive officers are specifically required to demonstrate capabilities for effective regulatory compliance, and to ensure corporate transparency and visibility into the business.

ProcessGene™ GRC software provides a complete solution for GLBA compliance. The GLBA software is implemented within days, and uses automation to reduce the time and cost of compliance enforcement.

Compliance Challenge

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act regulation (also known as “GLBA”, “GLB”, “Financial Modernization Act of 1999″, “Citigroup Relief Act”) was introduced 1999 by the USA One Hundred Sixth United States Congress, and has been continually maintained and updated to reflect the dynamic changes in business environment. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act regulation is aimed at controlling the ways that financial institutions deal with the private information of individuals. GLBA applies to financial institutions – companies that offer consumers financial products or services like loans, financial or investment advice, or insurance.

Ensuring compliance with the GLBA regulation is an important organizational task, which requires ongoing management of compliance data. The compliance process is continuous and needs to be repeated periodically and closely monitored. Managing officers are personally responsible to maintain the GLBA compliance, and this responsibility requires significant management attention and allocation of time and effort. Beyond self assessments or assessments of compensated third parties (such as accounting auditors or regulation consultants), the organization may also confront other external audits that show little if any tolerance to deficiencies. The ProcessGene credo in this matter is that objective compliance data, maintained by the organization itself, has much higher value than opinions of compensated third parties. We also believe that only an ongoing, continuous process can ensure actual compliance and audit clearance.

Compliance Challenge for Multi-Subsidiary Organizations

Multi-subsidiary organizations are confronting even more complex compliance challenges, due to differences between the business processes and operational characteristics of subsidiaries. Hence, the management and communication of GLBA compliance in a multi-subsidiary environment becomes an extremely complex task when managed manually or by tools that are not specifically designed for Multi-Org operations.
