New cybersecurity risk management regulations for insurance companies are here.

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) approved Insurance Data Security Model Law and the State of New York in March 2017 placed into effect Section 500 of Title 23 of the Official Compilation of Codes.

"Computers, software, programming and algorithms are all parts of a cybersecurity risk program, but it is the interaction with the 'humans' that makes all the difference in world."

NAIC's model law requires insurance organizations to have everything from information security program policies to incident response plans to specific breach notification procedures. Insurance organizations will also have to certify compliance to state insurance commissioners annually. Now that NAIC's model law is heading for adoption, it is important to learn how it might apply to your organization and what you can do now to start preparing for compliance.

This event focuses on describing the effective components of a modern cybersecurity risk management program. The attendees will be prepared to start the evaluation of an existing program.

Cybersecurity challenges demand that an organization face two facts. First, the protection of critical company and customer information is a business requirement to protect the company's reputation and enterprise value. Second, even the best programs will experience failure and expose some information the company would like to protect.

We at Corporate Compliance Seminars believe confidence in security and privacy does not come from knowing nothing will happen; it is achieved by knowing all the things that can happen and preparing both proactive and reactive solutions. This holistic approach starts by understanding what is most important to Board Members and then structuring and supporting the cybersecurity program so that the organization is engineered to grow securely.

Corporate Compliance Seminars provides Understanding Cybersecurity as a risk oversight training course for board members, executives, management personnel and auditors. This course provides attendees with what they need to know and most importantly, what they need to do in order to keep data and devices secure to prevent breaches.

This event has been designed to meet the CPE education needs of executives, senior officers, board members and auditors. The event can be tailored for private presentation to your group with industry specific examples.

Each attendee will receive 2 CPE Hours (YB). A certificate of completion will be provided.
