The Cybersecurity Assessment Tool is designed to assist all financial institutions in conducting a self-assessment of cyber risks and to inform their risk management strategies. Although it was prepared for financial institutions, the principles and processes outlined in the Assessment can be adapted and used by most organizations to inform management of their organization’s cybersecurity risks and preparedness.
The Assessment incorporates guidance and concepts from the National Institute of Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework, which was prepared to provide guidance to critical infrastructure organizations to better manage and reduce cyber risk. In fact, the Tool has a mapping feature that allows mapping between the Assessment and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.
