Communications Surveillance Self-Assessment Guide
As regulatory scrutiny intensifies and communication channels expand, firms face growing pressure to demonstrate that their surveillance programs are comprehensive, risk-aligned, and defensible. This guide introduces a diagnostic framework for self-assessing the effectiveness of a communications surveillance program.
Built around a 5P framework, the report outlines five pillars (policies, processes, people, progress, and proof) that firms can use to evaluate their surveillance programs.
Key report highlights:
- A structured 5-pillar framework spanning policies, processes, people, progress, and proof
- Clearly defined assessment criteria for each pillar
- Methodology for assessing program design, operation, and governance across all pillars
- Supporting tables to facilitate documentation of control criticality and solution maturity
