Compliance into the Weeds: The Convergence of Cybersecurity and Internal Controls

The award winning, Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast which takes a deep dive into a compliance-related topic, literally going into the weeds to more fully explore a subject. Looking for some hard-hitting insights on compliance? Look no further than Compliance into the Weeds!

In this episode, Tom Fox and Matt Kelly take a deep dive into a recent SEC enforcement action involving RR Donnelley, where a cyber breach was characterized as an internal control

In this episode, we discuss how criminal activities in cyberspace are outpacing regulatory measures and the law’s ability to keep up. The conversation touches on the idea that access controls for valuable corporate assets, whether financial data or sensitive information, are becoming indistinguishable in the eyes of cybercriminals. The discussion includes a thought-provoking perspective on merging cybersecurity and anti-money laundering functions, as both deal with improper electronic transactions. The core concern is not just the breach itself, but also the prevention of data exfiltration.

Key Highlights:

  • Corporate Jewels: Money vs. Data
  • Cybersecurity and Anti-Money Laundering
  • Improper Electronic Transactions
  • Focus on Data Exfiltration
  • Conclusion: Preventing Data Theft

“But when you think about it, we have a lot of external factors, such as the rise of cryptocurrency, which is riddled with fraud and corruption risk. New methods of cyber-based fraud, which didn’t exist, say, 2016, the 2010s before that. Rise of ransomware in particular, which wasn’t quite a big thing back then that it is all over the place now.”

“Most frauds, you the risk management function, you might never catch them. By looking for them, you’ll have to depend on somebody else coming to you from the enterprise, say, I think this person over here is doing something sketchy.”

“Fraud is having a moment. And fraud risk is on the forefront of many people’s minds from many different areas.”

“We need to do better at finding ways to assess and understand your fraud risk and then implementing new controls as necessary to push that risk down to acceptable levels.”
