What would an auditor find in an onsite assessment regarding your data security compliance and how would you measure up in such an evaluation?
With the recent federal regulatory pressure put on lenders to ensure their vendors have secure accounts, now is the time for title insurance agents and settlement services professionals to check business practices for holes and to provide lenders with proof of data security compliance. 2014 has been labeled the year of implementation, and when it comes to data security, there are numerous actions title and settlement services professionals should take to protect their company’s dollars, data and customer information.
But what is required for protection? Where are the troublesome areas? What should you implement and how? What are the costs associated with implementation? What would a security auditor find in an onsite assessment regarding your data security compliance and how would you measure up in such an evaluation? What often is missing in title operations that open up customer information to outside threats? In this 90-minute webinar, you will learn the answers to these questions and, specifically, what it means to “implement” to ensure data security compliance.
