Is a Virtual ISO Right for You?
Wednesday, May 25 | 2:00 PM ET
Because of the pervasive nature of cyber threats, the ISO has become one of the most critical positions in your organization. Adding to that challenge, the FFIEC requires that the individual(s) in the ISO role:
- “…should be an enterprise-wide risk manager rather than a production resource devoted to IT operations”, and
- “…should report directly to the board, a board committee, or senior management and not IT operations management.”
Many community banking institutions often struggle to comply with examiner expectations to appropriately separate duties between the ISO and IT or network administration and fulfill board and committee reporting—or, they just need assistance understanding and managing the multiple requirements of the ISO role.
With over 40 years of combined experience in information security, Tom Hinkel and the Safe Systems Compliance Team will share thoughts and best practices on the ISO role and ways to augment it, including:
- Our approach – Responsibility + Accountability
- The ISO and IT Administrator relationship
- 3 models of Virtual ISO outsourcing
- Sample outputs for Stakeholders - Board, IT and Audit Committees, Auditors/Examiners

2 Guys and a Microphone: Matt and Tom Chat About Compliance Trends and Rumors
Thursday, September 15 | 2:00 PM ET
Safe Systems is hosting a conversation with Matthew Jones, Partner and Financial and Information Security Auditor at Symphona, and Thomas Hinkel, the Compliance Guru at Safe Systems. Both have spent most of their careers working with financial institutions focused on risk and regulatory compliance.
Matt performs information security audits, including vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, social engineering audits, control reviews, financial audits, risk assessments, and more. Tom ensures that Safe Systems services abide by the appropriate financial industry regulations and best practices and has in-depth knowledge of information security compliance.
Pulling from their experiences and knowledge, Matt and Tom will chat about recent trends and changes in regulations, newer findings from examiners and auditors, and common mistakes made by institutions.
The conversation may cross over many topics, but will touch on:
- Recent audit and exam trends and rumors
- The latest with INTrex - Is this the new IT examination standard?
- "Interesting" exam findings/recommendations and what they may mean
- What to look for in SOC reports, and the changing standard (SSAE 18 to SSAE 21)
- The latest cyber incident notification requirement and implications for IRP and BCMP
- Attendee question and answer session
