GLBA Safeguards Rule Requirements Crosswalk

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) Safeguards Rule (16 CFR Part 314, amended June 2023) requires financial institutions to develop, implement, and maintain a comprehensive information security program (ISP) with administrative, technical, and physical safeguards scaled to the organization’s size, complexity, and data sensitivity.

Most organizations subject to GLBA compliance also operate under one or more additional cybersecurity frameworks. Rather than approaching each framework in isolation, this crosswalk maps every Safeguards Rule requirement to corresponding controls across five popular frameworks:

This crosswalk applies to any entity subject to the Safeguards Rule, including banks, credit unions, broker-dealers, insurance companies, mortgage lenders, higher education institutions (Title IV), auto dealers offering financing, tax preparers, and any entity “significantly engaged” in financial activities under GLBA §509. All mappings have been reviewed and validated by the SaltyCloud research team.

Here’s how the checklist simplifies compliance and saves time:

  • Map GLBA requirements to NIST and other frameworks effortlessly
  • Identify and resolve compliance gaps with clarity
  • Streamline audit prep with a ready-to-use, structured crosswalk
