Why This Matters for Financial Institutions
GLBA and the FTC Safeguards Rule require documented safeguards for members’ nonpublic personal information, and SEC Reg S-P raises the bar for advisors (smaller-entity compliance deadline: June 3, 2026). Weak email authentication enables impersonation, phishing, and fraudulent transfer requests.
