NorCal Chapter Meeting

Presentation Description:

Personal information (social security numbers, credit card numbers, and bank account numbers, coupled with a name) has become a leading target of cyber criminals. With your client’s personal information in your possession, understanding your exposure and taking the appropriate steps to mitigate your liability is essential. Steve Vono of NAPLIA will explain the accounting firm’s role in keeping data safe and outline how to protect your firm from lawsuits arising from information security exposures. He’ll discuss what is and isn’t covered under your professional liability policy and show you how an employee dishonesty policy and cyber liability policy can fill in the gaps.
