RiskWatch Meets & Exceeds the Action Summary from the FFIEC IT Examination Handbook, July 2006 “ Financial institutions must maintain an ongoing Information security risk assessment that: Gathers data regarding the information and technology assets, vulnerabilities, existing security controls and processes, and the current security standards and requirements. Analyzes the probability and impact associated with the known threats and vulnerabilities to its assets; and Prioritizes the risk present due to threats and vulnerabilities to determine appropriate levels of training, controls and testing necessary for mitigation”.

Oversight requires the board to provide management with guidance; approve information security plans, policies and programs; and review reports on the effectiveness of the information security program. The board should provide management with its expectations and requirements and hold management accountable for Central oversight and coordination, Assignment of responsibility, Risk assessment and measurement, Monitoring and testing, Reporting, and Acceptable residual risk.
- 11. Federal Reserve Bank Letter December 2007 requires Pandemic Flu Planning The Federal Reserve and the other FFIEC agencies believe the potentially significant effects a pandemic could have on an institution justify establishing plans to address how each institution will manage a pandemic event. Accordingly, an institution’s business continuity plan should include: A preventive program to reduce the likelihood that the institution’s operations will be significantly affected by a pandemic event; A documented strategy that provides for scaling pandemic efforts commensurate with the particular stages of a pandemic outbreak; A comprehensive framework of facilities, systems, or procedures to continue critical operations if large numbers of staff members are unavailable for prolonged periods; A testing program to ensure that the institution’s pandemic planning practices and capabilities are effective and will allow critical operations to continue; and An oversight program to ensure ongoing review and updates to the pandemic plan.
- 12. What Is Risk Assessment ? A process used to determine what controls are needed to protect critical or sensitive assets adequately & cost-effectively. The process examines five variable functions: 1. Specific Assets to be protected (value) 2. Potential Threats to the various assets 3. Vulnerabilities that would allow the threats to materialize 4. Kinds of Losses that the threats could cause 5. Safeguards that would reduce the loss or eliminate the threats
