GLBA (Gramm-Leach-Bliley)

A financial institution must protect the customer information it holds and prove that protection to an examiner. An assistant that can reach account records raises the question at once. This starter answers the traffic part with configuration, and the written program stays yours.

The safeguards rule expects a named owner and a documented plan. An examiner will ask how nonpublic information reaches an AI service and what stops it from leaving. Configuration answers the second half of that question.

Sensitive account detail is what the request path protects. Taxpayer identification numbers are masked before a prompt is sent. Requests that ask for an account export, wire details, an access token or a private key are refused outright.

Gatekeeping happens before any of that. A call without verified user and organization claims never reaches the model, and injection screening runs first so the prompt cannot disable that check.

Returned answers must clear a combined floor of 0.86, with relevance at 0.78 and accuracy at 0.80. A short or single sentence reply fails the same gate. What clears both gates still does not reach the caller, because a person receives it as an escalation first. That level of accountability matches the rule, and it also means an examiner sees a human decision behind every answer.

Risk assessment, service provider due diligence and privacy notices remain program duties. The gateway cannot mail an annual notice or oversee a vendor. It gives your program one controlled path and a record that each request was evaluated.
