Compliance Reports

report How To Boost Security Via FFIEC Compliance
With just a smartphone, users can conduct nearly all their banking business at any time of the day or night. However, all this flexibility and convenience opens up new avenues for fraud and cybercrime. Guidelines laid out by the FFIEC several years ago predate many of the capabilities-and vulnerabilities-that are in place today. In this report, we examine the latest guidelines and provide advice on how you can extend the work done to comply with FFIEC guidelines to strengthen your organization's overall security posture and keep customers and their data safe.

report Keeping Compliance In Check
Configuration mistakes, access control gaffes, poor documentation--it doesn?t take much for a compliance audit to go all wrong. In this special retrospective of recent news coverage, Dark Reading takes a look at the costs, common missteps and best practices for compliance, as well as the day the Internet nearly went dark due to the threat of new regulations.

report FISMA Lifts All Compliance Boats
FISMA may not be on your radar now, but it likely will be at some point. Geared specifically toward the federal government and its affiliate agencies and third parties, FISMA is a very specific set of requirements aimed at establishing and maintaining at least a baseline level of computer and network security. FISMA requires unique categorization and classification of information assets, not to mention a boatload of documentation to prove compliance. But once your organization achieves FISMA compliance, it will likely be compliant with just about every security mandate out there.
