Download the free Ultimate Guide to FFIEC Compliance
FFIEC is a government agency responsible for setting consistent guidelines and uniform principles and practices for financial institutions. FFIEC compliance states that multi-factor authentication must be installed. This can be in the form of a key card, biometric or iris scan or even facial recognition. It also calls for advanced encryption methods and layered security, among a whole slew of standards that aim to drive towards a better risk assessment.
Failing to comply with the guidelines issued by the FFIEC can result in financial penalties. As the FFIEC is an inter agency body that makes the recommendations, it does not have the mandate or authority to issue monetary sanctions directly. Our comprehensive security risk assessment methodology using our SECURITY 2.0 framework and a DEFENSE IN DEPTH 2.0 methodology, considers FFIEC compliance requirements in depth while assessing financial institutions.
