Overview
Since the beginning of the digital era, the privacy of nonpublic personal information and the cyber protections necessary to protect that privacy has been growing concerns for the public and, increasingly, for firms in the financial services industry. From the passage of the landmark privacy legislation, Gramm-Leach-Bliley in 1999 to the latest cybersecurity programs of today, all financial institutions, including those in the futures industry and subject to regulation by the National Futures Association (NFA), have been required to take steps to ensure their customers’ privacy and to implement cybersecurity programs.
