When developing and implementing their information security programs, financial institutions use guidelines set out in the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council's (FFIEC) Information Security Booklet. The Federal Trade Commission has broad authority to enforce the rules set out under Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), and the Handbook. This paper examines the objectives for information security as set forth in the Handbook, focusing on the ways in which data encryption software can help financial institutions meet specific requirements to ensure the privacy and integrity of financial information.
