wacky1980 Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 Wait till the CFPB comes in there and splits all your asses apart. i've personally never had to deal with those guys. my responsibilities include IT, vendor management, and DR / BCP. i'd have been fully prepared for the exams this time around, if we hadn't been so short-staffed since jan 1. i get to spend about 75% of my time these days sitting in the bookkeeping office and admin'ing the data processing team. rest of the time, i'm playing catch-up at my own desk and openly wishing death on my dumb fucking co-workers.

wacky1980 Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 my personal favorite of the day: FDIC "do you keep a summary report of the status of your vendors?" me "i have this vendor management summary right here on page one of the vendor management binder." FDIC "no, not that. i mean a summary of the status of each vendor, like a spreadsheet that shows the status of all of them on one page, in summary." me "no, i keep this vendor management binder that contains all of that." FDIC "but the first page is not a summary. that's an overview." me "then i guess we don't keep a summary." FDIC *scowls* me *kills self* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wacky1980 Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 it's called "disaster recovery / business continuity plan" for us and it covers anything from a vendor getting hacked, to a natural disaster, to full-on world war. there's no real set of defined standards to the creation and implementation of "the plan" so it's pretty much up to me to gather all the data, organize it, and then dream up as many negative scenarios as possible plus how to mitigate them. and it can't just be bullshit. if i say the bank keeps two backup copies of every piece of data, i have to be able to provide the location of each piece of data, the date it was backed up, and the instructions on how to restore it (and sometimes, i have to actually restore it in a sandbox environment to prove that i can). last year, i was informed we didn't have adequate safeguards in place to mitigate the risk that the bank faces from a massive influenza outbreak. so i wrote up a 5-stage policy for dealing with one. and now there's also two boxes of face masks, hand sanitizers, and latex gloves in storage, waiting for their moment...

Ginguy Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I don't have to do all that. I have to cover Medical/Fire/Earthquake/Severe Weather(shelter in place)/Workplace Violence/Gas Leak/Flood and Suspicious Package. It is something else, trying to get the money for basic equipment, but I think I'll be able to get it. If not, I'll simply make sure the record reflects I tried to get it and was not approved.

wacky1980 Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 being a bank, there's some records we're required to keep for ten years or more. we're over-achievers though. there's an entire room of logs, reports, balance sheets, and various pieces of data upstairs in the storage hall. that shit goes back to the late 80's.
