Conducting Your Annual Security Review

Presented by Dana Turner Every financial institution should conduct a comprehensive security review at least annually -- and more frequently if the institution's environment changes rapidly. The purpose of the security review is to identify conditions that may result in a loss or a legal action tomorrow -- or thirty years from now. In other words, this review simply targets an institution's "loss potential" -- using a standardized, practical and cost-effective methodology for analyzing the condition and contributions of the security function -- and for identifying the institution-wide "windows of opportunity" for loss from all sources, including:

• Employees and other institution-affiliated parties
• Customers and other persons likely to be on the premises, including vendors
• Facilities that you own or control
• Assets that are tangible and intangible
• Records from internal and external sources

This segment presents the basic methodology and appropriate techniques for conducting an initial and continuing an institution-wide security review. Using a simple, industry-standard evaluation process, this segment also addresses the use of consultants, department managers and other personnel to gather the necessary information for the Security Officer to use in making recommendations regarding policies, procedures and processes. Among the topics to be presented are:

• The Security Review Process
• Assessing & Establishing The Priorities
• Determining The Focus
• Locating Or Developing The Tools
• Creating & Submitting The Report
