Celestix for legal and financial services
Few industry sectors are so heavily regulated as the financial services sector. Data handling, storage and sharing are particularly sensitive given the high value of the records being managed. Pressure on financial organizations is increased due to the publicity that data breaches attract and that in turn result in damaged brand reputation, loss of trust and the threat of financial penalties. The cost of resolving a data breach can be significant so prevention is better than cure.
Clearly defined policies have been implemented globally to ensure financial organizations handle data securely. Federally mandated codes of conduct such as The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and State level security breach notification laws exist to ensure certain standards are applied to the management of sensitive data. Many regulatory bodies such as the Information Commissioners Office in the UK have the power to investigate potential failures to comply with regulation and to levy financial penalties on organizations that have failed to comply.
The diverse nature of the financial services sector demands a broad set of security policies to ensure data is handled effectively. From online banking records for consumers through to high value investment transactions, every time financial data is used in a live environment it is at risk from theft and misuse.
The financial sector also faces one of the largest security concerns of all, ensuring maximum security while allowing for maximum collaboration with external parties.
