With the sunset of the FFIEC Cybersecurity Assessment Tool (CAT) on August 31, 2025, financial institutions need updated approaches to evaluate and manage cybersecurity risk. Originally released in 2015, the CAT provided a voluntary framework to assess cybersecurity preparedness. While its controls remain relevant, evolving cyber threats and updated government resources now require a modernized approach.
ISGRM Group helps financial institutions transition from the CAT to current, risk-focused frameworks, including the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0, CISA Cybersecurity Performance Goals, and industry-developed resources such as the Cyber Risk Institute’s (CRI) Cyber Profile and CIS Critical Security Controls.
Our services assist organizations to:
-
Conduct comprehensive, risk-based cybersecurity assessments.
-
Align security programs with the latest regulatory guidance and industry best practices.
-
Ensure an effective control environment that matches the institution’s risk profile.
-
Develop actionable remediation plans to address identified gaps and strengthen overall cybersecurity posture.
By leveraging these modern tools and frameworks, ISGRM enables financial institutions to proactively manage cyber risk, support regulatory compliance, and maintain resilience in an increasingly complex digital landscape.
