Did you know that according to the ABA Banking Journal, U.S. financial institutions saw a 238% rise in cyberattacks in 2022? This surge underscores the urgency of robust cyber compliance in banking. Institutions that fail to address compliance gaps risk regulatory penalties, reputational loss, and erosion of customer trust.
TheComplyGuide delivers expert-led webinars designed to equip banking professionals with up-to-date knowledge on GLBA, GDPR, and PCI-DSS standards. Our programs are led by seasoned compliance veterans like Dr. Michael C. Redmond, who has advised banks globally on information security and business continuity. Her decades of consulting experience ensure actionable strategies tailored for U.S. banking operations.
What is GLBA and why is it crucial?
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) requires banks to explain their information-sharing practices and to safeguard sensitive data. Non-compliance can lead to steep fines and legal action. In today’s digital ecosystem, customers expect absolute confidentiality. GLBA compliance is not optional—it is a foundation for customer trust and regulatory survival.
How GDPR impacts U.S. banks
GDPR—the General Data Protection Regulation—may be European in origin but applies to U.S. banks handling EU customer data. Even a single EU resident account triggers obligations. The penalties for violations can reach 4% of global revenue. TheComplyGuide’s webinars demystify these rules so your team can implement necessary safeguards.
PCI-DSS and payment security
PCI-DSS is a set of standards designed to secure credit card transactions. Banks must maintain a secure network, protect cardholder data, and monitor all access to systems. A lapse can cause breaches, costly lawsuits, and loss of card processing privileges. TheComplyGuide trains your teams to meet these requirements confidently.
Addressing CCPA compliance for banking operations
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA compliance) gives Californians rights to know, delete, and opt-out of data sharing. Banks serving California residents must adapt their policies. TheComplyGuide provides live sessions showing how to integrate CCPA principles into banking workflows while balancing customer experience.
What are emerging challenges like P2P lending and RDC risks?
P2P lending platforms blur the line between traditional banking and fintech. They introduce new regulatory and fraud challenges. Similarly, RDC risks—risks tied to Remote Deposit Capture—can expose banks to fraud if not managed properly. Our expert-led courses outline detection techniques, internal controls, and regulatory expectations for these modern banking services.
How online banking security ties into compliance
Online banking security is a central pillar of customer trust. Weak security undermines GLBA, PCI-DSS, and GDPR efforts. TheComplyGuide trains IT teams and compliance officers on encryption, multi-factor authentication, and intrusion detection. Dr. Redmond’s sessions include real-world breach case studies to highlight critical defense measures.
Why proactive training matters
Over 70% of organizations report measurable risk reduction after adopting structured compliance training. Compliance gaps aren’t discovered until audits or breaches occur. Proactive education keeps your teams ahead of regulators. TheComplyGuide webinars are not generic—they are designed for U.S. banks facing real-world threats and complex regulations.

Cyber compliance in banking: Frequently asked questions
It includes data privacy, payment security, third-party oversight, fraud prevention, and audit readiness. Banks must harmonize federal and state rules with industry standards. TheComplyGuide’s webinars translate regulations into step-by-step controls your teams can implement fast.
GLBA requires safeguarding customer information, delivering privacy notices, and enforcing written security programs. You need role-based access, encryption, vendor due diligence, and ongoing risk assessments. Our instructors show how to align policy, training, and monitoring with examiner expectations.
Yes, if you process EU resident data. GDPR demands lawful bases, data minimization, privacy notices, and breach reporting. TheComplyGuide maps GDPR duties to U.S. banking workflows so your team can handle cross-border requests without slowing service.
PCI-DSS requires strong network segmentation, secure configurations, vulnerability management, trained personnel, and continuous logging. We teach scoping, compensating controls, and evidence collection to pass assessments and cut exposure from card data breaches.
CCPA compliance grants California consumers rights to access, delete, and opt out of data sales or sharing. Banks must coordinate exemptions with GLBA while honoring CCPA requests for non-GLBA data. We provide request handling playbooks and disclosure templates that keep you consistent and fast.
Adopt phishing-resistant MFA, risk-based authentication, device fingerprinting, and anomaly detection. Pair that with transparent messaging and self-service recovery. Our sessions help product, fraud, and security teams align controls with customer expectations and regulatory guardrails.
P2P lending adds model risk, disclosure risk, KYC gaps, and platform security issues. You need clear SLAs, API security reviews, and periodic audits. We outline third-party risk frameworks and control testing that satisfy auditors and protect customers from fraud.
RDC risks include duplicate deposits, altered checks, and synthetic identity fraud. Use deposit limits, image forensics, velocity checks, and device trust signals. Our training shows how to tune detection thresholds without spiking false positives or customer friction.
We host paid, expert-led live webinars with Q&A and recordings for registrants. Content is actionable, role-based, and aligned to enforcement trends. Attendees leave with checklists, maturity models, and testable procedures that stand up during exams and audits.
Maintain policies, training rosters, access reviews, risk assessments, vendor due-diligence files, scanning reports, and incident logs. We provide evidence maps that link artifacts to each control, making examiner reviews faster and less disruptive.
