A board security report that meets regulatory standards is essential — but one that withstands legal scrutiny is invaluable.
This must-attend session will explore the required timing, contents, and structure of the annual security report to the board.

WEBINAR DETAILS
This webinar will cover best practices for training, conducting inspections, and identifying foreseeable events that must be reported to the board. You’ll learn how to properly prepare, present, and document the annual written security report — not only to meet regulatory expectations, but to protect your institution in the event of litigation. While many financial institutions focus solely on compliance, a board report that lacks critical detail can become a significant liability if legal action is taken against the security officer, risk manager, management, or board members. What regulators review is often very different from what is scrutinized in court.
Attendees will gain practical guidance on structuring an effective report, presenting it with confidence, and including the key information needed to reduce risk and strengthen legal defensibility. We will also present valuable statistics, facts, and strategies designed to help minimize liability. Don’t wait for an incident to expose gaps — learn how to turn your annual security report into a powerful tool for both compliance and risk management.
