With more employees working remotely and regulators taking a tougher approach to off channel communications (OCC), the mismanagement of OCC poses serious risks for financial services firms. While some financial institutions mitigate risk by providing business devices to employees to use for all business communications, this may not be cost effective or feasible for many firms.
