Many executives are concerned about the security of their data and network infrastructure. Join us and learn where your organization may have security gaps or be out of state or federal compliance. In this seminar, we will discover how a combination of good policies and the implementation of good, solid solutions can help you meet compliance requirements, and protect and secure your organization or business.
Does your organization take credit card information? Do you store personal information on your staff, clients or donors? Raffa can help you avoid the pitfalls and penalties that can come from storing these privacy related items in unsecured ways.
PCI DSS, the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard is a set of requirements designed to ensure that all companies that process, store or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment. This applies to essentially any merchant that has a Merchant ID (MID).
HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, sets the standard for protecting sensitive patient data. Any company that deals with protected health information must ensure that all the required physical, network, and process security measures are in place and followed. This includes anyone who provides treatment, payment and operations in healthcare, and anyone with access to patient information and provides support in treatment, payment or operations.

“If we’re going to be connected, then we need to be protected. As Americans, we shouldn’t have to forfeit our basic privacy when we go online to do our business. Each of us as individuals have a sphere of privacy around us that should not be breached, whether by our government, but also by commercial interests.” These words were spoken two weeks ago by the American president Barack Obama, who urged Congress to pass a series of cybersecurity and privacy laws that will protect even more the data privacy of customers and children in schools. Once again the data Privacy and Regulation topic became newspaper headlines.

Getting in Shape – NYDFS Cyber Security Regulations Webinar
Presenters: Shawn Tuma, Cybersecurity & Data Protection Attorney, Scheef & Stone LLP | Bill Belcher, VP Americas, Boldon James In an initiative to protect New York’s financial services industry, a new State regulation has been introduced to protect consumers and financial institutions from cyber-attacks. Effective March 1, 2017, this risk-driven regulation requires all financial services institutions regulated by the Department of Financial Services (DFS) to establish and maintain a cyber security program that will protect both customers’ private data and the technology that supports this. The impact stretches down through the supply chain, as any organization that conducts business with the NYC financial services sector has to adopt the same level of data protection.
Watch this webcast to learn:
The key requirements of the NYC Cyber security regulation
How compliance is about process first, then people and technology
What organizations need to be doing to ensure they comply
How data classification can help ensure compliance
NYDFS Cybersecurity Regulations (23 NYCRR 500) New York is one of the biggest financial hubs in the world; as you can imagine where there is sensitive financial information, there are people who want to get their hands on it. It is for this reason major financial firms operating in New York will face stiff cyber security obligations under the new New York Department of Financial Services Cybersecurity Regulations (23 NYCRR 500). This regulation will apply to firms holding a banking, insurance or financial services licence to operate in New York. 23 NYCRR 500 has been effective as of March 1st 2017, although firms have 180 days from this introduction date to change internal systems in order to meet new compliance and regulation standards. This fact sheet outlines:

Data breach events result in significant losses each year. Our partners at Bonahoom & Bobilya, LLC, created a presentation about understanding the hidden regulatory risks of a data breach so you can keep your company from going out of business.
This presentation has been shared with permission.
The document summarizes key statistics about data loss incidents in 2013, including that over 2,000 incidents exposed over 800 million records. It outlines the typical stages companies go through after an incident and laws requiring preparation and response. The document provides a self-assessment for companies and best practices around security, forensics, communications, and international considerations for responding to a data breach. It emphasizes that companies should plan for an incident as regulatory requirements and costs can be significant for unprepared organizations.
The document summarizes a webinar on assessing compliance programs. It discusses why organizations conduct periodic assessments of their compliance programs, including regulator expectations, stakeholder expectations, and identifying risks and gaps. It also covers preparing for an assessment, including establishing goals and scope, collecting data through document reviews, surveys, interviews and focus groups. Finally, it discusses analyzing the data, reporting findings and recommendations, and generating an action plan to address recommendations. The overall purpose is to evaluate program effectiveness and identify areas for improvement.
This document proposes the LT-Innovate OSCAR project, which would provide a standardized open standards compliance assessment report (OSCAR) for translation tools. The OSCAR would assign compliance levels from 0-4 to various standards, providing a score that could help buyers choose tools and enforce progress on open standards compliance in the industry. The OSCAR project would be run annually by LT-Innovate's Standards Interest Group and provide the assessment for free to LT-Innovate members and potentially for a fee to non-members.

It then outlines the 5 steps: 1) creating a regulatory knowledge base and taxonomy, 2) assessing risks and internal controls, 3) mapping business processes to regulations, 4) identifying locations and assets subject to compliance, and 5) defining roles and responsibilities. Each step is then further explained across multiple pages with details on components and considerations.
This is a presentation we've made to promote the Human Rights Compliance Assessment, a checklist tool that allows companies to measure their human rights performance.
We would be very interested to hear comments on this presentation. We hope it's self-explanatory, but we welcome any feedback on content or presentation.
We created this tool to improve companies' human rights performance, so it's very important that we get the messaging right. Thanks for your feedback!
This document provides an overview of risk assessment for small businesses using BeSMART.ie, an online tool developed by the Health and Safety Authority. It discusses understanding risk through identifying hazards, deciding and writing down controls, and telling workers. The 3 step risk assessment process involves identifying hazards, assessing risks and implementing controls based on severity and likelihood. Common hazards are identified for various industries along with their risks. Irish health and safety law requires risk assessment and a safety statement. BeSMART allows registering as a user to select a business type and complete hazard screens and control assessments to generate a final risk assessment and safety statement. Benefits include a safer workplace, reduced costs and time, and compliance.
Creating a compliance assessment program on a tight budgetAshley Deuble
The document provides guidance on creating a compliance assessment program on a tight budget. It outlines steps to prepare such as creating policies and socializing them, determining assessment scope and methods, developing assessment forms and reporting templates, and improving the program over time.

DAMA Webinar: The Data Governance of Personal (PII) DataDATAVERSITY
To do effective data governance, analysts should preview the amount of data their organization is collecting and consider if it is all necessary information to run the business or just “nice to have” data. Today companies are collecting a variety of Personally identifiable information (PII), combining it with location information, and using it to both personalize their own services and to sell to advertisers for behavioral marketing. Data brokers are tracking cell phone applications and insurance companies are installing devices to monitor driving habits. At the same time, however, hackers are embedding malicious software in company computers, opening a virtual door for criminals to rifle through an organization’s valuable personal and financial information.
This presentation explores:
•What company data should be tagged as “sensitive” data?
•Who within the company has access to personal data?
•Is the company breaking any privacy laws by storing PII data?
•Is the data secure from both internal and external hackers?
•What happens if there is an external data breech?

Page 5
HIPAA: Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, a US law designed to
provide privacy standards to protect patients' medical records and other health
information provided to health plans, doctors, hospitals and other health care providers.
Developed by the Department of Health and Human Services, these new standards
provide patients with access to their medical records and more control over how their
personal health information is used and disclosed. They represent a uniform, federal floor
of privacy protections for consumers across the country. State laws providing additional
protections to consumers are not affected by this new rule.
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act: (GLB Act or GLBA), is a federal law enacted to control
the ways that financial institutions deal with the private information of individuals. The Act
consists of three sections:
1. The Financial Privacy Rule, which regulates the collection and disclosure of private
financial information
2. The Safeguards Rule, which stipulates that financial institutions must implement
security programs to protect such information
3. The Pretexting provisions, which prohibit the practice of pretexting (accessing private
information using false pretenses).
The Act also requires financial institutions to give customers written privacy notices that
explain their information-sharing practices.

Short for Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS), PCI DSS is a
standard that all organizations, including online retailers, must follow when storing,
processing and transmitting their customer's credit card data.
The Data Security Standard (DSS) was developed and the standard is maintained by
The Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC). To be PCI
complaint companies must use a firewall between wireless networks and their cardholder
data environment, use the latest security and authentication such as WPA/WPA2 and
also change default settings for wired privacy keys, and use a network intrusion detection
system.

ACTIONS
Strong password
policy is the first
line of defense
against a data

Page 8
STRONG PASSWORD POLICIES
Risk: A poorly chosen password may result in unauthorized access and/or exploitation of
company resources. In 2013 Verizon stated that 90% of successful breaches started with a
weak or default password. The increasing strength of password cracking programs
significantly increases the risk associated with poor or weak passwords.
Benefit: Strong password policies help to reduce the risk of a breach. Policies should also
provide guidance to reduce the risk of human error breaches. Strong passwords should
meet these standards at a minimum:
• Lower case characters
• Upper case characters
• Numbers
• "Special characters"(@#$%^&*()_+|~-=`{}[]:";'<>/)
• Contain at least 12 but preferably 15 characters.

9. SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS AND
ACTIONS
If email or other
company data is
stored on mobile
devices they must
be managed.
Is it Time for a Security and Compliance Assessment? Page 9
MOBILE DEVICE MANAGEMENT
The solution allows for password management and the ability to wipe of all data if the
device if lost or stolen. Solutions exist for laptops, tablets and smart phones.
Risk: Users cannot be trusted to always do the right thing. Has the potential for conflict
between employees and employers.
Benefit: MDM solutions offer the ability to wipe lost or stolen assets to protect sensitive
information from falling into the wrong hands. One benefit of a clearly stated policy is a
reduction of possible remote wipe disagreements.
10. SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS AND
ACTIONS
A clear written
policy regarding
BYOD needs to be
in place and
acknowledged by
employees.
Is it Time for a Security and Compliance Assessment? Page 10
MOBILE DEVICE MANAGEMENT – BRING YOUR OWN DEVICE (BYOD)
Risk: BYOD security becomes complicated since the devices are personally owned.
Focus should be to restrict what employees are allowed to have on the BYOD
devices.
Benefit: MDM solutions offer the ability to segment BYOD devices so that it is easy to
secure or delete company information off of personal devices, without affecting the user’s
personal data.
BYOD is becoming popular for companies as a way to reduce costs for mobile devices
and keep employees happy. Companies need to have clearly-defined BYOD policies that
employees need to acknowledge in writing. A clear policy must be created and
communicated to all.

14. SECURITY TOOLS
Security tools
include protection
against viruses,
spyware, and
malware for both
the network and
it’s endpoints.
Is it Time for a Security and Compliance Assessment? Page 14
EMAIL AV (Antivirus & Antispyware)
Scans incoming email for known malicious software, spam and phishing content.
Updates signatures on threats similar to traditional antimalware software.
Risk: Email is the primary entry point for virus and malware, protection here is crucial
to the stability of data integrity & usability.
Benefit: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure - solutions that block hostile
emails before employees can open dangerous attachments is a smart business tool to
utilize. This is focused on the prevention of malware infections or ID theft.

Is it Time for a Security and Compliance Assessment? Page 15
SECURITY TOOLS
Antimalware/Antivirus/Anti spyware – Desktop & Server
Software that searches for, removes and prevents the installation of known malicious
software from desktops and laptops and servers.
Risk: Not having antimalware software installed and updated is a sign of negligent
business practices.
Benefit: A crucial layer of protection to keep data and networks secure.
Hosted based firewall
A host based firewall is designed to run on individual workstations and provide rules on
connecting to outside networks.
Risk: Roaming laptops do not have the protection of network firewalls and other
network based security controls.
Benefit: Provides protection for laptops when they are not connected the corporate
network.
16. SECURITY TOOLS
A basic firewall
Provides
absolutely no
threat detection.
Firewalls allow
and block traffic,
and cannot
respond to
evolving threats
Is it Time for a Security and Compliance Assessment? Page 16
ADVANCE FIREWALL + UTM (Unified Threat Management)
Primary network gateway defense solution for the business community. Solutions evolved
from the traditional firewall, becoming an all-inclusive security appliance that can perform
multiple functions. Combines network firewalling and any of the following: antivirus (AV),
gateway anti-spam, VPN, content filtering, load balancing, data leak prevention and on-
appliance reporting.
Risk: As malware becomes more advanced, not having the tools to identify or block
attacks can leave a business open for attack.
Benefit: Provides a cost-effective, yet comprehensive threat- vector protection. All-in-one
solution provides tighter security tool integration.
17. SECURITY TOOLS
A basic firewall
Provides

evolving threats
Is it Time for a Security and Compliance Assessment? Page 17
IPS/IDS (Intrusion Protection System/Intrusion Detection System)
Monitors networks for malicious activity; stops, blocks, and reports. Looks for patterns
and matches to known vulnerabilities (included in advanced firewall and UTM platforms)
Risk: As malware becomes more advanced, not having the tools to identify or block
attacks can leave a business open for attack.
Benefit: IPS/IDS solutions help prevent attacks from advanced threats that are able to
bypass traditional firewalls and antimalware solutions.
18. SECURITY TOOLS
Data files should
be encrypted
both at rest and
during transport.
The way data is
shared has to be
carefully
managed.
Work is an
activity not a
place.
Is it Time for a Security and Compliance Assessment? Page 18
DATA FILE ENCRYPTION
Data file encryption encrypts files and folders selected to be encrypted both on the fly and
at rest.
Risk: Lost or stolen assets are easy to get access to. Once an unauthorized party has
access to the system, all the data on the device can be accessed if it is not encrypted.
Benefit: Provides an additional layer of protection by preventing data from being
accessed by unauthorized parties.
19. SECURITY TOOLS
Policy based
encryption for
email ensures
that email
containing
sensitive
information are
protected.
Is it Time for a Security and Compliance Assessment? Page 19
EMAIL ENCRYPTION
Email encryption uses either public key or private key encryption to prevent the email
contents from being viewed by anyone except the intended recipients.
Risk: Users routinely send files to the wrong recipients and recipients sometimes
forward on files when they should not. Without encrypted email, one the email is sent,
there is no way to manage who can access it.
Benefit: Provides an additional layer of protection by preventing data from being
accessed by unauthorized parties.
20. SECURITY TOOLS
Compliant Email
archiving
provides
eDiscovery and
can save
companies time
and money
Is it Time for a Security and Compliance Assessment? Page 20
EMAIL ARCHIVING
The act of preserving and making searchable all email to/from an individual. Email
archiving solutions capture Email content directly from the email application or during the
transmission process.
Risk: Depending on the industry, your company may have a legal requirement to
maintain documents for a certain period of time.
Benefit: In regulated industries, this helps the organization comply with applicable
regulations. It also helps manage old, but possibly important emails that may need to be
accessed in the future.
21. SECURITY TOOLS
Effect data
backup will allow
a company to
continue to
operate from
anywhere in the
event of a
disaster
Is it Time for a Security and Compliance Assessment? Page 21
BACKUP DATA & RECOVERY
This involves the copying and archiving of computer information for the intent of
restoration. This process is also used to restore lost data following a disaster.
Risk: Without a proven ability to recover from a data loss incident, a company may not
be able to stay in business due to the disruption to its business operations by losing it
critical data and systems.
Benefit: A proper data backup and recovery solution will cover the information that a
company need to survive. This includes what is an acceptable recovery time and which
data is most crucial.
22. THE CLOUD AS AN EFFECTIVE SECURITY
AND COMPLIANCE SOLUTION
A “layered
defense” or
defense in depth
is the best
practice for
security and
Compliance.
