Safe Systems Issues New White Paper: “Role of the ISO: Regulatory Expectations and Requirements of a Financial Institution’s Information Security Officer”
Alpharetta, Ga., July 24, 2018 – Safe Systems, a national provider of fully-compliant IT and security services for community banks and credit unions, has issued a new white paper, “Role of the ISO: Regulatory Expectations and Requirements of a Financial Institution’s Information Security Officer,” that is now available for download on its website.
In today’s banking environment, information security officers (ISOs) must manage a growing set of challenges including new and emerging cyberattacks; evaluating third-party vendors; protecting sensitive customer data; and navigating regulatory requirements. These tasks underscore the need for a financial institution to have an effective ISO to handle the complexity of this important role. Safe Systems’ new white paper identifies the key areas and responsibilities ISOs must oversee for the financial institution and provides guidance on how to improve processes and ensure accountability.
“Many ISOs struggle with limited resources; a lack of segregation of duties; time constraints; over reliance on third-parties; and inadequate expertise,” said Darren Bridges, president at Safe Systems. “Our new white paper clearly defines the processes and procedures every ISO needs to successfully execute the responsibilities of this challenging role and explains how they can simplify tasks to effectively perform their duties and keep the institution secure.”
