FAQs on Compliance for Banking & Financial Services
- Arrka has been working with various types and sizes of Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI) Sector organizations across multiple geographies on their Data Privacy and Infosec Compliance requirements. From Large & Small Banks to NBFCs to Mutual Funds to Fintechs, we have seen the kind of challenges that are faced by organizations in this sector. They not only have to address the requirements of laws and regulations specific to the Privacy/ Security of financial and related data but also look at other sectoral laws, standards and mandates that embed Privacy and Infosec requirements within them.
- This translates into two core issues these organizations have to deal with:
- Understand all the laws/regulations/standards/guidelines that are applicable to them in the first place. The more geographies they operate in, the more complex this gets
- Put them all together and implement a solution that works across these disparate compliance requirements and, furthermore, keep up with the frequent updates and/or new compliance requirements that come up from time to time.
- It is exactly these two challenges that Arrka’s solution takes head-on and addresses. We have analysed various BFSI related laws & regulations, integrated them onto an underlying robust framework and developed a holistic solution that meets not just the current requirements but also has the ability to take on anything new that comes up on the horizon. What’s more, our team continually scans and adds on new compliance requirements that come up.
- Our solution comprises our robust frameworks and methodologies, various intelligence engines & repositories as well as separate modules in the form of easy-to-use templates, workflows and dashboards.
- All of this is baked into the Arrka platform and pushed under the hood – so our clients can simply focus on their business while Arrka works quietly in the background to ensure their Data Privacy and Infosec compliances are taken care of.
- Your policy needs to be translated into reality.
- For eg, when you state in your policy that you use the Personal Data you collect only for a list of, say, 5 purposes, then you need to ensure that you put the right processes and controls in place to ensure that actually happens in reality. Further, you need to monitor these to ensure they actually work.
- Similarly, your Infosec policy may state that you have an asset inventory and a password policy of using passwords of a minimum length of 8 characters that needs to be changed every three months. These need to be actually implemented and you need to have evidence of the same.
- All of this – and more – can be deployed and managed easily and effectively with Arrka’s solution.
- Absolutely! We layer our consulting services on top of the platform to offer you Virtual CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) and Virtual CPO (Chief Privacy Officer) Services. So, in effect, we manage your security and privacy programs for you.
