FFIEC Cybersecurity Assessment Tool (CAT)

Self-Assess
United States (FFIEC)
v2017 (current)
13 domains
49 controls

The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) Cybersecurity Assessment Tool helps financial institutions identify cybersecurity risks and determine their preparedness. Based on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, it assesses inherent risk profile and cybersecurity maturity across five domains. Used by FFIEC member agencies (OCC, FDIC, Federal Reserve, NCUA, CFPB) during examinations.

Unverified

FFIEC Cybersecurity Assessment Tool (CAT) is a compliance framework from United States (FFIEC) with 13 domains and 49 controls that map to 269 other frameworks. The largest domains are Inherent Risk Profile (5 controls), Inherent Risk Profile: Risk Categories (5 controls), Maturity Levels (5 controls). Every control below carries what it requires and what an assessor expects to see.
