Understanding GLBA compliance consulting

GLBA compliance consulting represents a critical and specialized service for financial institutions, providing expert guidance through the requirements set forth by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA). The act's enforcement arm, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), mandates strict adherence to the GLBA's Safeguards Rule. This rule obliges companies to develop, implement, and sustain a comprehensive information security program characterized by administrative, technical, and physical safeguards. The Act’s components include:

  • Financial Privacy Rule: This rule regulates the ways in which financial institutions collect, handle, and disclose both personal and transactional data of customers.
  • Safeguards Rule: This rule focuses on the actual security of the collected information. It encompasses robust data encryption, secure data storage, and stringent access management protocols, all aimed at upholding the highest level of data protection.
  • Pretexting Rule: This rule is designed to combat and prevent the illicit acquisition of customer information through deceptive means. It addresses concerns around social engineering and pretexting.

We had a hard time finding the right company to partner with in support of our compliance journey. Some vendors sell the idea that they do the work, but then you end up doing everything. The ambiguity is what killed our last project. BD Emerson’s team has such great technical knowledge and understands the standard so well that they made us comfortable with moving fast. This has led to us closing major enterprise customers that were previously out of reach because of security and compliance.

Tom Watkins

CEO @ AMI AssetTrack

Lead an enterprise initiative to overhaul the organization's technology stack from ecommerce, corporate tech, and corporate security.

Supported ISO 42001 exercise and served as internal auditor.

Rubrik's privacy and compliance team began with the backbone of BD Emerson. BD Emerson supported building out the privacy program, GRC (ISO 27001, SOC 2, CMMC, FedRAMP), and the appsec function.

We needed a partner who could move quickly, without sacrificing precision. BD Emerson brought the expertise, structure, and speed we were looking for. Their team became an extension of ours, embedding themselves across the organization, guiding us step by step, and giving us confidence in areas we hadn’t tackled before. The internal audit they conducted was so detailed that even the external auditors called it out. Achieving ISO 27001 with zero nonconformities says everything you need to know about the quality of the partnership.
