CFTC System Safeguards (17 CFR 37, 38, 39, 49) CFTC-SS-15: Controls Testing

Conduct controls testing covering each control included in the program of risk analysis and oversight, at a frequency determined by an appropriate risk analysis, with key controls tested no less frequently than every three years for covered entities and the key control testing performed by independent contractors for covered entities.

Other controls in CFTC System Safeguards: Cybersecurity Testing

You are reading one control. How much of CFTC System Safeguards (17 CFR 37, 38, 39, 49) have you already done?

CFTC System Safeguards (17 CFR 37, 38, 39, 49) CFTC-SS-15 is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of CFTC System Safeguards (17 CFR 37, 38, 39, 49) your existing evidence covers. Hold NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 and 28 of 39 CFTC System Safeguards (17 CFR 37, 38, 39, 49) controls already carry evidence.

Each report names every control your existing framework evidences, every one it does not, the reasoning behind each claim, and the claims that were argued against and rejected. 5 were rejected on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 pair alone.
