This Act made it critical for financial institutions to verify the identity of customers. The Department of the Treasury issued regulations implementing information sharing provisions contained in section 314 of the Act. The regulation requires financial institutions to take the necessary steps to protect the confidentiality of the information and to use the information only for the purposes specified in the rule. This part of the Act underscores the importance of good monitoring and audit capabilities to alert financial institutions if someone other than a customer or authorized employee is trying to access customer accounts through electronic means.
As a result, security information and event management (SIEM) plays a vital role for compliance under the USA Patriot Act. Protecting the integrity of the customer record is crucial in supporting the validity of the monitoring and investigation of money laundering and terrorist financing schemes.
