GLBA

GLBA (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act)

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act

Requires financial institutions to safeguard consumer data, provide transparency, and implement comprehensive information security programs.

"Safeguarding Consumer Financial Data at Every Layer"

Value Proposition: Why Choose AdVran for GLBA?

GLBA’s Safeguards Rule was significantly strengthened in 2023, requiring designated qualified individuals, written incident response plans, and continuous monitoring. Financial institutions need operational security, not just policies.

1. Safeguards Rule Implementation

We implement the technical controls required by the updated Safeguards Rule—encryption, access controls, MFA, and continuous monitoring—integrated into the IT infrastructure we manage daily.

2. Qualified Individual Support

GLBA requires a designated qualified individual to oversee your information security program. We provide the technical expertise and operational evidence that individual needs to fulfill their responsibilities effectively.

3. Consumer Data Protection

We map where consumer financial information flows across your systems, implement data loss prevention controls, and monitor for unauthorized access or exfiltration—protecting the data GLBA was designed to safeguard.

4. Vendor Risk Management

GLBA requires oversight of service providers handling consumer data. We provide the documentation and security posture evidence needed to satisfy vendor management requirements, and we help assess your other third-party providers.

5. Incident Response and Notification

Our incident response capabilities include the breach assessment, FTC notification preparation, and evidence preservation that GLBA mandates—executed by the same team that manages your infrastructure.
