Cyber Compliance for Wealth Management: Who Owns It?
Cybersecurity compliance is becoming a requirement for wealth management firms. In the world of hybrid work, regulations and cyber threats are driving the need for firms to not only enhance their cybersecurity posture, but for continuous compliance to prove they have the processes and procedures in place to mitigate risk.
Even firms that use service providers are required to have a senior leader that is ultimately responsible for cybersecurity. With traditional roles becoming blurred, who owns cyber compliance?
In this session, we’ll discuss how traditional compliance and IT departments will have to work together to share responsibility for staying compliant and demonstrating compliance to regulators.
