Critical HR Recordkeeping. From hiring to termination.Sage HR
Employee record retention is a daunting task for employers because there are so many different requirements based on a variety of criteria.
For example, virtually every federal employment law, ranging from the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, stipulates certain record-retention rules for all private sector employers. In addition, many state and local jurisdictions impose additional requirements.
Record retention is complex and time consuming. However, in addition to complying with various federal and state laws, keeping good, well-organized records can be very helpful in documenting and supporting an organization’s employment actions.
The best way to ensure that your records are in good order is to establish and publish a record-retention policy.
It’s wise to consult with legal counsel, and you may want to engage the services of record-retention specialists who can help you customize your record-retention policies and practices to fit your specific situation.
Recordkeeping also assists in managing human resources by providing hard data on the effectiveness of policies and procedures. For example, records of accidents in the workplace help identify why accidents are occurring and how to prevent them. Records also help prove compliance with government regulations. For example, documentation of equal employment opportunity practices can help show that an employer is in compliance with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. Records provide documentation to defend—and even drive—employment decisions. They can help when defending against a lawsuit brought by an employee or employees under one of the employment laws.
Responsible recordkeeping practices begin long before a job candidate walks through the door and extend long after an employee leaves an employer, according to Allen Kato of Fenwick and West, LLP and Charles “Trey” Wichmann of Winston and Strawn, LLP. Their years of experience practicing employment law provide valuable insight on organizing your records legally and effectively.
In this special report, BLR® will outline their approach to recordkeeping to keep you out of court.

The Data Landscape is a representation of the organisation’s data entities and their relationships, interfaces and data flows. Data entities are data asset components that perform data-related functions, from data storage to data transfer and data processing within the Data Landscape.
The objective of developing a Data Landscape model is to define an approach for formally and exactly defining the operation and use of data at a high-level within the organisation and to plan for future changes. It allows the enterprise data fabric to be defined and modelled.
Creating a data landscape view is important as data underpins the operation of information technology solutions and business processes. Data breathes life into solutions as its flows through the organisation. The optimum and most cost-effective design of the data landscape is therefore important. Similarly, solutions that are developed or acquired and deployed on the data landscape

Introduction
Part 1: National Security Strategy and Cybersecurity
After reading the National Security Strategy (2017), comment on the following.
· Should the United States create a separate cybersecurity strategy to be published alongside the National Security Strategy (NSS), or do you feel the NSS is sufficient? Why or why not?
· Consider your answer in the context of the original National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace (2003). What is not adequately addressed in the National Security Strategy (2017) as it relates to cybersecurity?
Part 2: Public/Private Partnerships
After reading the Cybersecurity Act of 2015, address the private/public partnership with the DHS National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC), arguably the most important aspect of the act. The Cybersecurity Act of 2015 allows for private and public sharing of cybersecurity threat information.
· What should the DHS NCCIC (public) share with private sector organizations? What type of threat information would enable private organizations to better secure their networks?
· On the flip side, what should private organizations share with the NCCIC? As it is written, private organization sharing is completely voluntary. Should this be mandatory? If so, what are the implications to the customers' private data?
· The government is not allowed to collect data on citizens. How should the act be updated to make it better and more value-added for the public-private partnership regarding cybersecurity?
Part 3: Private Sector Organizations
Review the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Commission (EU). It includes many provisions and arguably strengthens data protection for individuals within the EU. It even includes the right to be forgotten. The United States does not have a similar regulation. There have only been a few regulations implemented related to US citizens' private data, which include medical and financial industries. Some argue implementing regulation such as GDPR in the United States would hinder innovation. They contend that the End User License Agreements (EULA) provide sufficient protections and allow the citizens to make the choice of what is and is not shared.
· As a private sector organization, do you believe that an equivalent to GDPR should be implemented in the United States?
Part 4: Protecting Critical Infrastructure and the Homeland
The Department of Defense (DoD) Cyber Strategy 2018 discusses the protection of critical infrastructure and the homeland. What does that mean to private organizations such as yours? If most critical infrastructure in the United States is owned by the private sector, what responsibility does the DoD have in this regard? Some would argue US laws are outdated and thus the DoD has little ...

Despite the fact that viral marketing has been around for some time, unfortunately, due to its complexity, there are no best practices to follow and no measurements to apply to manage the process. As a result, companies have taken a “hit & miss” approach and have treated viral marketing more of an art than a science.
So far, viral marketing has been compared to the weather: fairly important, but not much you can do about it. Until recently, the majority of companies have “left it to Beaver”, have resorted to fake gimmicks, or have paid brand ambassadors to generate buzz, and when all else failed, they paid their way through by showering their constituents with incentives and by employing “hired guns”.

The National Science and Technology Council's Task Force on Identity Management was established to assess the current state of identity management (IdM) across the U.S. government and develop a vision for the future. The Task Force found that over 3,000 federal systems currently utilize personally identifiable information (PII) in an inconsistent and duplicative manner. The Task Force proposed a new framework that includes: 1) A "network of networks" to securely manage common PII elements across agencies; 2) Strong security, privacy and auditability standards; and 3) Ubiquitous yet controlled access to verified identity data. This proposed approach aims to improve accuracy, availability, privacy and coordination of IdM across the federal government.

I. INTRODUCTION
This MBA Compliance Essentials Resource Guide addresses how to manage and govern
the challenges posed by social media and the digital marketing of residential mortgage
products and services. Digital media can take many forms, such as traditional internet
web functions, mobile media, social media platforms, interactive uses and those that are
yet to be developed. Depository and non-depository financial institutions have embraced
digital marketing.
The media is changing, and the laws are adapting
From traditional advertisements (print media such as newspapers, magazines and direct-mail
pieces) or multi-media (radio and television), to modern digital platforms such as social
media, internet banners, pop-up ads, online video, and mobile applications, financial
institutions have never had more options to market their products and services to consumers.
Unfortunately, federal and state advertising guidelines were generally designed to broadly
apply to advertisements across all media. Lawmakers and regulators have not specifically
addressed many of the nuances presented by mobile/digital advertising, nor have regulators
fully explained how existing legal obligations can be met within these new platforms. When
they have done so, they are often provided in a haphazard manner.
Risk lies within every posting
To give a brief glimpse of the risks of mobile/digital advertising, these simple illustrations
demonstrate some of the risks that are faced on a daily basis: A “tweet” regarding the latest
mortgage interest rates could violate the Truth-In-Lending Act’s Regulation Z. A “like” on
Facebook could be construed as an illegal kickback in violation of the Real Estate
Settlement and Procedures Act and Regulation X. A status update on LinkedIn, describing
the details of a successful loan closing, could violate the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act’s privacy
and safeguards obligations. A loan originator who offers advice on an internet blog or
forum may inadvertently violate the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. There is no doubt that the
rewards of mobile/digital marketing are great, but the risks can be a legal minefield.
This Guide
The purpose of this Resource Guide is to review and organize applicable statutory and
regulatory authorities so that financial institutions can evaluate the risks and rewards of
advertising on digital media platforms and create an appropriate plan for compliance in
the information age. The appendices include a model digital marketing risk-management
program, as well as policies and procedures and model compliance checklists, to help
financial institutions establish an effective system of governance and control.
Most of the discussion in this Guide focuses on federal regulations. Please note, while
few states have yet to address mobile/digital media issues in their laws and regulations,
they may begin to do so in the near future. Readers are encouraged to monitor state
regulators to ensure that advertising, regardless of its platform, complies with applicable
state requirements.

II. STATUTORY AND REGULATORY PILLARS
A. FFIEC’S Social Media Compliance and Risk-Management Guidance
Posts on the internet and social media are the equivalent of regulated advertising
according to the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC). The
FFIEC is an interagency body created by federal law in 1979 to establish uniform
principles and standards for the examination of financial institutions.1
Current members of the FFIEC are appointed from the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System (FRB), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), the National Credit Union
Administration (NCUA), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), and a
representative from the State Liaison Committee (SLC).2
The purpose of the FFIEC is
to promote consistent supervision and examination of federally and state-regulated
financial institutions.3
On December 11, 2013, the FFIEC issued formal guidance on social media.4
That
guidance applies to micro-blogging sites (Facebook, Twitter, SnapChat, etc.) and to
forums, blogs, customer-review websites, bulletin boards, photo and video sites,
professional networking sites, virtual worlds, and social games.5
Although social media
is difficult to define, and is constantly changing, the guidance casts a wide net, and
broadly defines social media as “a form of interactive online communication in
which users can generate and share content through text, images, audio, and/or
video.”6
This definition sounds like just about anything that exists on the internet or that
is available through mobile devices.
The FFIEC’s broad definition seems to have been intended to ensure that financial
institutions construct thorough risk management practices to address the consumer
compliance, legal, reputational and operational risks posed by social media advertising.7
Indeed, according to the guidance, advertising financial products and services via social
media presents a multitude of risks that require their own system of governance and
oversight. The following laws and regulations are certainly in the “danger zone” for
compliance concerns8
:
“Unfair, or deceptive acts of practices” provision of Section 5 of the Federal
Trade Commission (FTC) Act

12 U.S.C. § 3301 (2014).
