Nothing remains stagnant in the banking world. New rules and regulations relative to physical security, cyber threats, the Bank Secrecy Act, and money-laundering are constantly changing. It is incumbent on Bank Compliance Officers, Security Directors, and Auditors to stay abreast of these legal revisions and design new policies and procedures for all staff to ensure compliance, avoid penalties, and prevent losses.

With over 900 pages of authoritative security-related guidance, the BDSR offers twenty-two chapters contained in four sections: laws and regulations, risks both traditional and electronic, best practices to mitigate the risks, and investigative techniques and requirements for reporting suspicious and criminal activities.
