Gramm Leach Bliley Act (GLBA)

On November 12, 1999, President Clinton signed the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) into law. Section 501, "Protection of Nonpublic Personal Information" mandates various safeguards:

  • Ensure the security and confidentiality of customer data
  • Protect against any reasonably anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such data
