Helping Financial Institutions achieve greater efficiency and compliance in Third Party Risk Management

As financial organisations of all sizes become more dependent upon Third-Party supplier relationships to manage and process their Customer and Employee Personally Identifiable Information (PII) understanding the key policies, security practices, and other key controls their suppliers use to protect this information becomes critical to operational efficiency, security and regulatory compliance.

The Financial Services sector is already subject to multiple, complex legal and regulatory compliance requirements – all of which have implications for storage, backup and the security and integrity of data – and the scrutiny of regulators such as the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) show no sign of abating.

Third Party Risk and Regulatory Compliance Converge

All regulatory bodies are increasingly targeting the responsibility of financial institutions over the control and management of risks posed by Third Parties through “joint” or “nested” liability in cases of data breach or the misuse of sensitive Customer and Employee data.

As a consequence, ensuring the security and integrity of not only your own IT networks but the entire data supply chain – whether on-premise, off-premise or cloud-based – is now of paramount importance. Third Party risk management therefore needs to become a critical element in your IT and InfoSec strategy.

With such huge potential implications, as well as damage to reputation and brand that comes from serious IT breaches and exposure of Personally Identifiable Information (PII), it is important to be ahead of the game.
