The National Institute of Standards and Technology

The Cyber Security Framework (CSF) was developed and is maintained by the National institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). β€œThe Framework is voluntary guidance, based on existing standards, guidelines, and practices for organizations to better manage and reduce cybersecurity risk. In addition to helping organizations manage and reduce risks, it was designed to foster risk and cybersecurity management communications amongst both internal and external organizational stakeholders.”​​

Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council

The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) developed the Cybersecurity Assessment Tool (CAT) to help financial institutions identify risks and determine their cybersecurity preparedness. The CAT provides a repeatable and measurable process for financial institutions to measure their cybersecurity preparedness over time. FFIEC offers resources that can help management and directors of financial institutions understand supervisory expectations, increase awareness of cybersecurity risks, and assess and mitigate the risks facing their institutions.
