Sawdamizer Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 Wait till the CFPB comes in there and splits all your asses apart.
wacky1980 Posted September 20, 2017 Author 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.
Ginguy Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 Well, the good news is that there is a push in Congress to get rid of Dodd/Frank. Bad news, it's Congress....
wacky1980 Posted September 20, 2017 Author 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*
wacky1980 Posted September 20, 2017 Author Posted September 20, 2017 pretty much done for today. two more days to go, then i can unclench the ass cheeks that have been puckered up since about august 1. only part of this job that i dread.
Ginguy Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 Boy I thought I was banging my head against the wall dealing with implementing a NIMS IAP. (National Incident Management System Incident Action Plan)
wacky1980 Posted September 20, 2017 Author 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 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.

Ugh, I hate to have to explain it, but I guess we'll all just |:: |:: |:: |:: after I do. Your thread is about the FDIC "kicking your ass" .....The dude in the gif's name is Wacky........This was about you fighting back. It was funny to me......I didn't expect anyone who wasn't black in the 90s to get it, but it was....as I said, funny to me.
K_N Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 Sounds like when I have to deal with PCI or HIPAA...

wacky1980 Posted September 21, 2017 Author Posted September 21, 2017 Sounds like when I have to deal with PCI or HIPAA... so much fun. so much. today has been a little easier. it's apparently "check every log in existence" day, and i'm on top of that shit.
K_N Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 I love when they make us pull and explain logs from 240 days ago. I don't even remember what caused critical errors 4 hours ago.
wacky1980 Posted September 21, 2017 Author 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.
K_N Posted September 21, 2017 Posted September 21, 2017 At least I don't have to keep physical logs. Just a tray full of hard drives.
wacky1980 Posted September 21, 2017 Author Posted September 21, 2017 we're (slowly) moving towards electronic records, but regulations require we keep hard copies of a lot of stuff so it's taking awhile.
