This presentation focuses on the intersection of trust, the financial industry and data security/privacy. Ben Boyd, Edelman's president of Practices, Sectors and Offerings, discussed consumer's low trust in the financial industry, the critical role data security plays in driving consumer trust and how companies should think about using data security to bolster trust in their organizations as security has moved from the backroom to the boardroom.

2. “Trust is the foundation of all relationships, including those
between enterprises and the markets they serve. As our world
becomes more connected and more dependent on cloud and
mobile technologies, maintaining control over trust must be a top
priority for all CEOs, CIOs, CISOs and IT security
managers. When trust is compromised, business stops.”
- Jeff Hudson, CEO, Venafi

REPUTATION reflects how stakeholders feel about you today ... while TRUST
inherently facilitates how they will act with – and for – you in the future.
6. Trust as a business asset
There is no business objective which can not be aided by
trust and positive reputation or hindered by their absence.
They are vital to the very definition of business value.

Reputation BUILDS INTO TRUST -- The better your reputation, the more likely stakeholders are to trust you in the future.
On the flip side,
Trust PROTECTS YOUR REPUTATION. The more stakeholders trust you, the less likely they are to incorporate negative stories into their view of your reputation.
Reputation WORKS FOR YOUR BUSINESS. Reputation has been shown to have positive effects for business – growing valuation, market share, and other critical metrics.
On the flip side
Trust ALLOWS YOU TO TAKE ACTION IN THE FUTURE. Trust represents your license to operate – the ability to take critical actions and hold an opinion on activities ranging from employee relations, to entering new markets, to public affairs.
We’ll come back to this shortly. But first, some findings from our 2013 Trust Barometer.
The most trusted institution in the world continues to be NGOs. It is particularly interesting to watch the rise of NGOs in Asia.
NGOs are followed by business, in which Trust is stable and rising, but only in developing markets.
Trust in Media had been rising for the last 3 years, but fell from 57 to 52 this year – but we have a theory as to why.
Not a good story for government, which is in last place and falling fast.
Tech remains on top globally, but with a word of caution: pay attention as cloud and data security/privacy affects this industry.
There was not a large change year over year from 2013 to 2014.
This longer term look points to the automotive resurrection from bailout to darling of innovation/newness. Consider the role of the car in emerging markets and role of the middle class.
Looking at banks further than 2009, you would not see them at the bottom, but in the middle of the pack. Now the bottom is the new normal – “it is hard to fall off the floor” – but we also know variability in rank order by market.
I would argue that the confidence that consumers and society feels about the ability to secure the data we all share is important to trust
We are seeing it already *Quote stats
This need will only gain in urgency as more migrates to the cloud and gets connected to the internet
And fort better or worse, the brunt of this burden could fall on the financial services industry
Even more than health or personal information, people are most concerned with the information that is shared with this industry
Yet financial institutions are meeting the security expectations of their customers.
A yawning gap exists between the number of people who consider data security important in these industries and the number who actually trust them to protect personal information.
So, while 92% say finance is an industry in which they consider security important, just 69% trust financial institutions to adequately protect their personal information: a 23 point gap.
We can and should do better.
Specific to security issue, the actions are clear. Many will take political action, be more hesitant to use your services and engage in social activity.
Companies who are trusted will benefit in many ways including informed publics choosing to buy their products and services and recommending them to a friend or colleague. Whereas, distrusted companies face a set of consequences, such as refusal to buy products/services and being criticized to others. Overall, trust impacts the bottom line.
The good news is our research finds that there are several ways to actively build and influence trust…..
Security can influence several of the key trust drivers if properly managed. Ensuring quality control in products, protecting customer data and responsible supply chain management all tie to data security.
Ensuring quality control in products – as more products become more digital (like online banking apps, real-time trading and mobile payments) the security of those products is one of the main indicators of quality for customers.
If people don’t trust these new platforms, they are less likely to use it and will look elsewhere.
Protecting customer data – Even more interesting, protecting customer data is explicitly will have equal influence as several other issues that are often more traditionally considered essential to trust.
Responsible Supply Chain Management – As you know, many of the recent breaches have been caused by a break down in security in the supply chain and vendors (e.g. Target) raising significant concerns about the security and reliability of corporate systems.
As more infrastructure moves to the cloud and the amount of parties that have access to systems expands, the integrity of the digital supply chain will become even more relevant.
Move to boardroom from backroom: The stakes and risks related to security must become a priority at the highest levels of organizations. It transcends just being a technical or legal issue. It has an impact on customer relationships, partners and the overall reputation of the company.
If security isn’t already regularly on the agenda regularly for board meetings it needs to be. You must fight for a seat at the table to make sure this issue is being addressed holistically. Boards must name individuals that come from the security industry.
Treat as not and if but when: Most of you probably already come with the mindset, but it’s important that you ensure people throughout your organization understand that it’s not an “if” but “when” you will experience an incident that will have significant incident and will need to engage across the company.
The CMO, General Council, Customer Service and Business Unit Leaders must have a working understanding of security and must be involved in the security incident response process. They should be involved in any planning that goes on and alerted early in the process.
Communicate & engage: Building trust among customers, businesses partners and society at large requires communications and engagement. This means responsibly communicating information about a major security incident without risking the ongoing investigation or speculating.
It also means finding the right ways to proactively engage on these issues. I don’t mean touting security controls, but really finding ways to engage consumers with messages about how they can protect themselves and your commitment to security. Educating them on your security and privacy policies and making them easy to understand.
Engagement must also be considered more broadly. From your industry peers at gatherings like this to policy makers and other industries you all touch like retail.
Take collective action: share threat information among the financial industry really helps to systemically address the security challenge. Share your knowledge of best practices with other and adjacent industries. Engage with policy makers and regulators proactively to craft solutions.
