The newly proposed Dodd-Frank rewrite, which is currently part of the $21 billion funding bill being deliberated by the Senate, would cause a shakeup in the riskiness of third-party relationships with banks and financial services organizations which have less than $500 billion of assets on their books, causing companies to have to reevaluate their risk profiles.
In 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act was enacted to tighten the regulations imposed on Financial Institutions following the 2008 financial crisis. The major issues addressed within Dodd Frank were: increase capital reserve requirements, creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), and increased transparency in derivative trading.

Today’s companies are outsourcing more critical functions as part of their business operations in today’s complex environment. Every member of the supply chain must be evaluated to ensure they are properly protecting systems and data. With hackers specifically targeting third parties as a way to get to outsourcers’ data, this further emphasizes the need for rigorous information security and risk management programs.
The service provider control evaluation process has long been inefficient and costly. The verification performed during the onsite assessment is a necessary component to ensure sufficient third party controls in place, but today this process is time and resource intensive, inefficient and a burden on both the outsourcer and the service provider.

New whitepaper looks at new rule of accountability; provides an overview of areas that banks must improve to mitigate vendor risk; and offers insights on choosing a vendor risk management solution
Warren, New Jersey – March 17, 2015 – Vendor risk and cyber threat intelligence innovator Prevalent today announced the release of a new whitepaper, “OCC 2013-29: Taking a Comprehensive Approach to Third-Party Risk Management.”
Written by Brad Keller, director of Third-Party Risk & Compliance for Prevalent, the whitepaper highlights one of the biggest changes established by OCC 2013-29 – compliance is no longer an issue assigned to a bank or financial institution’s board of directors – senior management now shares this responsibility.
“Since the OCC 2013-29 Bulletin was released in October 2013, this change alone has been the cause of much concern for banks’ vendor risk managers, many of whom are still grappling with how to best satisfy their new regulatory responsibilities,” says Keller. “We developed this whitepaper to take a closer look at the key provisions of the Bulletin, and provide banks managers with some strategies they can follow to both meet the requirements of the law, and mitigate vendor risk within their financial institutions.”
