The Cloud Influence on GRC
Cloud computing risk management, governance and compliance processes are evolving as organizations increasingly turn to cloud services for storage, infrastructure and software needs, rather than running their own. But in moving to the cloud computing, enterprises also potentially expose themselves to myriad threats. In this SearchCompliance handbook, we examine how compliance officers reduce this risk.
In the first story, Christine Parizo speaks with practitioners and experts about how to maintain security and compliance as part of a larger cloud computing risk management strategy, and offers a checklist of questions to ask your cloud providers about their GRC readiness. In our second piece, Ben Cole examines how services and tools have evolved in the face of regulatory and cloud risk management concerns. In our final piece, Karen Goulart discusses how enterprise cloud strategies reflect a renewed focus on security, and looks at why cost reduction is no longer the bottom line in cloud adoption.

Financial markets regulatory outlook 2017
The regulatory outlook for financial services firms in 2017 will be determined by a number of factors. Firms continue to be challenged by the introduction of regulations, continued macro-policy uncertainty and digital disruption from new technologies.
Fintech and regtech
• In 2017, fintech will continue to change the industry, along with artificial intelligence (AI) and data analytics. Innovative entrants will find greater support from regulators, but those regulators will become increasingly vigilant about the risks that they pose.
• In payments, PSD2 presents many business opportunities. However, the lack of specificity in some of its provisions could complicate its implementation for fintechs and retail banks.
• Elsewhere, regtech promises to push down costs, rein in compliance risk and improve controls. However, its adoption will remain gradual this year. Effective implementation of such solutions will require significant up-front investment and firms will need to demonstrate that this will create valuable business returns, especially in the trickier commercial conditions that are set to continue in 2017.
• A number of recent high-profile attacks on firms have encouraged supervisors to increase their focus on the cyber resilience of the financial sector. In 2017, supervisory expectations will evolve to include more detailed response planning for cyber breaches and clearer responsibilities among management and boards. Firms will increasingly use testing, war-gaming and red-team exercises to demonstrate the robustness of their resilience plans to public authorities.
Persistently low and volatile interest rates have also seen greater pressure on profitability, despite being a decade on since the origins of the financial crisis. Looking ahead, it is clear that many financial services firms must steer a course into 2017’s uncertain winds by taking decisive and, in some cases, bold actions to adapt to an increasingly challenging environment.
