could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to a customer. The 
Guidance states that every financial institution should develop and 
implement a response program designed to address incidents of 
unauthorized access to customer information maintained by the 
institution or its service provider, and describes the appropriate 
elements of a financial institution's response program, including 
customer notification procedures.
