FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS & OFFICES
Protecting personal financial information starts with proper planning.
According to the Bureau of Consumer Protection, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) requires financial institutions – companies that offer consumers financial products or services like loans, financial or investment advice, or insurance – to explain their information-sharing practices to their customers and to safeguard sensitive data. Firms across the United States are responsible for client losses from mistakes due to employee distraction.
Sound masking can provide the appropriate levels of speech privacy to ensure that financial information that is communicated orally can be safeguarded against inadvertent disclosure and subsequent misuse.

- With less people in every office due to social distancing guidelines, offices are quieter than ever which effects the level of speech privacy.
- Most worker mistakes and lower individual productivity can be attributed to workplace distractions such as overheard conversations.
