Dodd-Frank Compliance and Advisory Services

The Dodd-Frank Act requires corporate in-house compliance to implement a dramatically heightened level of transparency, self-awareness, and well-designed resolution plans, should the worst occur. Lootok can help prepare your company for complying with Dodd-Frank through our flexible, customized business continuity management approach. Lootok's business continuity services are supported by an extensive network of proven professionals well-versed in how best to assist a client in addressing Dodd-Frank challenges.

Lootok begins the process by conducting a current state assessment of a client's initial capabilities for issues related to both business continuity and Dodd-Frank compliance. After sharing its findings with the company sponsors, Lootok can then tailor a program that simultaneously answers business continuity requirements and prepares the client for optimal regulatory compliance, such as the Dodd-Frank Act, or any future Information Age regulation. Organizational critical processes, services, and its related supporting infrastructure are analyzed and mapped as well as inter- and intra- company relationships that must continue to exist in order for the company to operate properly. Such a corporate map developed through a business impact analysis can illuminate shadow areas, confused lines of operation, and more importantly, readily identify individuals responsible for each service and offering. This basic business continuity product provides the foundation for a company's heightened self-awareness, which results in fielding gold standard compliance actions for Dodd-Frank or any other in-depth requirement.

Much of the reason why business continuity management is such a perfect vehicle for answering Dodd-Frank challenges lies in the obligatory actions that must be performed for implementing and developing a respectable business continuity program. Lootok's business continuity services prepare clients to continually assess their company's reputation, footprint, and probable ramifications of future actions in order to minimize missteps, leading corporations to be regularly attuned to their public perception and the direction of financial regulation, instead of waiting until it is too late.

Moreover, corporations leveraging a dedicated business continuity management program can lower government scrutiny and public suspicion by adopting a proactive state of readiness to answer future imposing information demands. Lootok's network integrates a seamless combination of risk, security, supply, and recovery disciplines to provide composite business continuity services that map internal and external relationships between client process, people, and facilities. Critical in today's interconnected commercial sphere, this awareness of external relationships positions companies to better strategize and understand the effect of future acquisitions, alliances, and interactions. This understanding is necessary for realizing the corporate footprint in its industry and when it might arouse Dodd-Frank suspicions regarding systemic risk.

The heightened self-awareness that Lootok's business continuity management program provides can guide clients to make decisions strategic for Dodd-Frank, and optimal for accomplishing operational and tactical objectives. Decision-makers that exploit Lootok's business continuity services will never go blindly forward again.
