In the world of financial & insurance services, compliance isn’t just about regulations—it’s about survival. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Safeguards Rule (Reg S-P) mandates that financial institutions protect customer data like it’s gold—and we treat it like Fort Knox. With our compliance expertise, we don’t just meet these requirements; we obliterate vulnerabilities, transforming compliance into a fortress of protection and trust.
Why SEC Safeguards Matter
The SEC Safeguards Rule requires firms to implement written policies and procedures to protect Non-Public Personal Information (NPI). But this isn’t just a check-the-box exercise—it’s about safeguarding your clients’ assets, ensuring their trust, and avoiding the massive reputational and financial damage that a breach could bring.
