SBA Lenders: Beware of BSA
The National Association of Federal Credit Unions (NAFCU) last week urged leaders of the House Committee on Homeland Security to support enhanced data security. Timely notification of financial data breaches is a key part of NAFCU’s initiative to improve data security. Recently, the president released an executive order on cyber-security that included a process for sharing cyber threats to targeted private entities within 120 days. NAFCU would like to see more done to relieve some of the significant burden credit unions have with the existing data breach regulations. Called the “21st Century Data Security Standards,” NAFCU urged changes that include:
Congress has begun to respond to this plan. On March 12, 2013, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 749, and the bill has moved on to the Senate. This bill would add an exception to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act essentially allowing financial institutions to only send updated privacy notices when such notices have changed. This would help reduce some of the compliance burden suffered by all financial institutions (and help reduce waste through thrown out notices).
