State and Federal bank examiners require you to have a comprehensive IT Risk Assessment to evaluate your information security risks to determine appropriate safeguards to mitigate risk to an acceptable level. This session will demonstrate a step-by-step process to complete an IT risk assessment that safeguards your bank’s sensitive customer and financial information (as well as meets the requirements of the regulators). Some of the issues are: How does a risk assessment drive value to the bottom line? Will the risk assessment pass the regulators review? Do I have it right?

Risk assessments are required to identify reasonably foreseeable threats from within and outside bank operations that could result in unauthorized disclosure, misuse, alteration or destruction of customer information or customer information systems, as well as the reasonable foreseeable threats due to the disposal of customer information.

Federal examiners require a thorough, written IT risk assessment and you will be amazed at how easy this potentially complicated and time-consuming task becomes after attending this presentation. If you have attended other IT Risk Assessment workshops, this one is unique and sure to provide value to your bank.
