The Bunker – Regulatory Compliance Viewpoint
The Bunker provides the highest security operational
management, helping companies to ensuring the highest levels of
confidence in their ability to meet compliance demands

Public, Private, and in particular Financial companies
are under massive pressure to comply with a never ending growth
in regulations across the world. These pressures are not only exerted
by International Standards committees. Shareholders, stakeholders
and institutional investors also require greater confidence in the
management of the companies they invest in.
The European Union has issued a new financial services directive
to drive consistency in market supervision across the community.
The directive, composed of forty two exhaustive elements, ranging
from Basel through Know Your Customer to Treat Your Customer Fairly
requirements related to the disclosure of risk taking.
Focus has shifted from classic market and capital risk to intense
scrutiny of the operational side of businesses. Meta Group believes
that most companies are “woefully ill informed about the pervasive
effects of acts like Sarbanes Oxley”.
The Bunker is dedicated and will help customers get
to grips with the technology ramifications of regulatory compliance
in the BCP, DR and Secure Storage arenas.
The infrastructure that enables business practice and compliance
needs transforming. So called “Loss Events” can be related
to People, Processes and Systems.
How can senior executives, who need to prove that they’re
in control of the detailed workings of their businesses, testify
to the accuracy of information unless they have confidence in the
systems that produce this information?
Detailed and audited evidence must be testified to at the personal
level of company officers! How can this be done without exceptional
levels of integration across data and communications within a secure
environment?
Technology itself can lead to greater risk. No-one believes that
systems, operating platforms, applications and communications are
becoming any easier. As choices increase, so does their inherent
complexity and risk. Things can and do go wrong.
What’s needed is assistance in reducing the cost of owning
and managing technology while ensuring compliance. The only way
to achieve this is by co-operating with product agnostic companies
who can protect your vital resources from any security threat and
help you exploit their use to prove data gathering, and evidence
collection as well as accuracy.
Huge volumes of data will need to be collected, aggregated and
stored for use in risk calculations.
Data will need to be extracted from a plethora of individual reporting
and archiving systems; purchasing, sales, finance, legal which are
normally based on numerous computing platforms, languages and systems
of representation.
These Data will need to be manipulated into meaningful and comprehensible
information for senior executives. These executives in turn will
need to present the knowledge gained from this information as an
accurate statement of their companies’ activities.
Continuity of high levels of system performance & proven database
reliability are essential.

Throughout
Europe, the Bank for International Settlements’ Basel
II Capital accord nears activation in legislation. It has
been stated that the average investment required for a major
bank to reach compliance is around € 15 to 60 Million.
The Risk Management requirements & capturing several years
of risk information with near real time recall can reach €
2 Billion.
In the USA, Sarbanes Oxley (SOX) and the Patriot
Act have been added to the existing SEC and National Association
of Securities Dealers laws, reinforcing that firms need to
better manage their email and archiving. Sarbanes Oxley alone
can cost up to $ 10 Million per individual company.

The
deepest foundation to any compliance strategy is security.
Most companies rely heavily
on protection at the network boundary or perimeter using firewalls.
Firewalls can be breached using VPN’s and pseudo insider
tunnelling, allowing deeply damaging attacks and shifting
of control from the company to a “hacker” who
can then penetrate any and all internal systems. This can
lead at the very least to distributed denial of service attacks
and ultimately to the shifting of capital, tampering with
crucial reports and destruction of information. A heavy price
to be paid for executives who can be held personally liable
for fines and ultimately imprisonment.
