GraVoc’s information security team would like to extend its gratitude toward North Easton Savings Bank for hosting the first quarterly information security & risk management consortium.  The event was held Tuesday morning March 30 at NESB’s new corporate offices in South Easton, and was attended by several GraVoc information security clients and friends.

Led by GraVoc’s Nate Gravel and Dan Vassallo, the meeting was the first of hopefully several where financial service executives both within IT and outside IT can share ideas, concerns, and observations regarding the current compliance landscape for regional financial institutions.  Among the many topics discussed this quarter were the changes in Regulation E that require customers and members to opt in for courtesy overdraft payment, challenges brought on by the popularity of social media outlets, and current patterns in regulatory exams.

The GraVoc information security team is grateful that some of its clients braved adverse weather conditions to attend the event, and hopes that all attendees considered the event a conduit for discussion that was worth the drive.  If you are interested in attending the next event, most likely to be held in June, please contact either Nate or Dan by calling the GraVoc offices at 978-538-9055.
