Course Summary

Learn the essentials of GLBA compliance, including how to handle financial data responsibly, implement security safeguards, and spot deceptive practices like pretexting—no legalese required.

Included Modules:

GLBA Overview

Introduces the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the US law requiring financial institutions to protect customers’ personal financial information and explain their data practices.

GLBA Applies Broadly

Explains that GLBA reaches well beyond banks, covering any business that is significantly engaged in providing financial products or services to consumers.

GLBA and NPI

Defines nonpublic personal information (NPI) under GLBA and clarifies which customer financial details the law obligates institutions to safeguard.

Three Main Components

Outlines the three pillars of GLBA compliance: the Privacy Rule, the Safeguards Rule, and protections against pretexting to obtain customer information.

GLBA Part 1: Privacy

Covers the GLBA Privacy Rule, which requires institutions to give customers clear privacy notices and the chance to opt out of certain information sharing.

GLBA Part 2: Safeguards

Explains the GLBA Safeguards Rule and the FTC’s requirement that institutions build a written program to protect customer information from threats.

GLBA Part 3: Pretexting

Describes pretexting under GLBA, where someone uses false pretenses to obtain customer financial information, and the safeguards that help prevent it.

Penalties for Violations

Reviews the consequences of failing to meet GLBA, including FTC enforcement, significant fines, and personal liability for individuals who knowingly violate it.
