What is one requirement under the GLBA Safeguards Rule?

The requirement under the GLBA Safeguards Rule that involves physical security measures is essential for protecting customer information held by financial institutions. The Safeguards Rule mandates that institutions must implement a comprehensive information security program that includes administrative, technical, and physical safeguards.

Physical security measures might involve the use of locked filing cabinets for paper records, secure access controls to prevent unauthorized personnel from entering areas where sensitive information is stored, and security systems such as alarms and surveillance cameras. These measures help to prevent data breaches and ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of customer information.

In this context, while customer service training, reduction of staff size, and advertising standards might be relevant to other aspects of business operations, they do not directly relate to the requirements set forth in the Safeguards Rule for protecting customer information.
