FFIEC Cybersecurity Compliance

FFIEC cybersecurity compliance for banks, credit unions, and financial institutions — NCUA ACET maturity assessments, NIST CSF alignment, exam preparation, board reporting, and technology risk management.

FFIEC Cybersecurity Compliance — Examiner-Ready Programs for Financial Institutions

Financial institutions face cybersecurity expectations from multiple regulators — NCUA, OCC, FDIC, Federal Reserve, and CFPB — all operating under the FFIEC's interagency cybersecurity framework. Examination findings can trigger mandatory action plans, civil money penalties, and reputational damage. Principle Security helps banks and credit unions build examiner-ready cybersecurity programs that demonstrate maturity, not just compliance.

The FFIEC Cybersecurity Framework

NCUA ACET Maturity Assessment

Complete the ACET assessment against all domains and maturity levels, document your current state, and build a roadmap to your target maturity profile.

NIST CSF 2.0 Alignment

Map your existing controls to NIST CSF 2.0 functions (Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover) and identify gaps examiners will probe.

Exam Preparation & Mock Assessment

Simulate the examination process with a mock assessment, identify findings before examiners do, and prepare your team for examiner interviews.

Board & Audit Committee Reporting

Develop board-level cybersecurity reporting packages that satisfy examiner expectations for governance and oversight — including risk appetite statements and metrics.

Technology Risk & Vendor Management

Build the technology risk management and third-party vendor oversight program that FFIEC examiners review under External Dependency Management.
