Key points include:

- Security for remote or mobile employees and customers
- Business continuity management (BCM) and succession planning
- Preparing documentation for auditors and examiners
“The coronavirus pandemic is having a significant impact on banks and credit unions, and these institutions are grappling with how to address the present situation and successfully plan for an uncertain future,” said Darren Bridges, president of Safe Systems. “In this paper, we provide financial institutions with key best practices for pandemic planning and ensure they have the proper tools to respond; keep customers and employees safe and provide the right documentation to examiners and key stakeholders.”
