Measuring and managing Governance, Compliance and Risk Tolerances to Information Security or Data Security per federal banking regulations includes IP Governance or intellectual property governance, IT Governance/Network Vulnerability and Compliance Disclosures per the supervisory guidances from GLBA and the FTC ACT by the banking regulators. These disciplines are unified in the Information Security Governance Framework, a holistic, enterprise risk management model for a Board of Directors that measures governance, compliance, and operational (legal) risks on identity theft and consumer protection per federal and state regulations and federal banking metrics, i.e., CAMELS and Basel. .

IP Governance addresses corporate identity theft, a root source of rampant federal crimes against consumers and trade secrets per the President’s Identity Theft Task Force Report. Corporate identity theft or intellectual property infringements in the form of fraudulent domain names used within phishing, email spam and fake web sites are Unfair and Deceptive practices against consumers that attack trade secrets or sensitive customer information inside and outside of bank IT networks resulting in operational losses, operational risks and reputational harm for corporations and consumers, alike.
