Episode 43 — GLBA: Privacy Rule, Safeguards Rule, and State Exemptions

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) governs privacy in the financial services sector. This episode introduces the GLBA Privacy Rule, which requires clear disclosures about data sharing and provides consumers the right to opt out of certain uses. We’ll also cover the Safeguards Rule, mandating administrative, technical, and physical protections for customer data. Importantly, we explore how some state laws modify or expand on GLBA requirements.

We highlight common exam points, such as which institutions qualify as financial under GLBA and what disclosures must be provided. By mastering these distinctions, you’ll be well-prepared to analyze GLBA scenarios in exam questions. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com
