Learn how protecting the increasingly complex and vital IT infrastructure from planned and unplanned downtime is imperative for complying with recent regulations.

Over the past five years, some of the most wide ranging and demanding financial management and disclosure regulations in U.S. history have come into force such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley and Sarbanes-Oxley Acts. Not complying with these regulations may have serious consequences for you and your financial services institution.

The goals of this white paper are to explain the impact of specific regulations on information availability and to give an overview of the range of solutions available. It also offers straightforward guidance on how to develop an effective Information Availability strategy.

The single most important tool that executives must have to ensure compliance with these regulations is, simply, information. Accurate, timely and complete business information is the foundation of compliance with each recent regulation. But the availability of information depends upon functional and available IT systems.

Protecting the increasingly complex, sophisticated and vital IT infrastructure from planned and unplanned downtime is imperative for compliance. Executives must balance the potential costs and risks of downtime with the investment required to mitigate it. The development of an information availability strategy begins with a thorough evaluation of your IT infrastructure and the availability needs for each application.

The degree of protection and availability necessary often varies by system and application. Some require 24x7 availability, while others can be offline for hours without significantly impacting your ability to comply with regulations. The optimum availability strategy for your institution will most likely require employing a variety of business processes and technical solutions.

When selecting an availability vendor to help you design and implement your solution, choose a partner with breadth and depth of solutions and proven expertise. Selecting a vendor, such as Lakeview Technology, will help ensure the optimum availability of your information, so you can comply with the regulations with confidence.
