Ncyber FAQ
The Cyber Risk Institute (CRI) is a non-profit organization founded in 2020 through a collaboration of major financial institutions and the Bank Policy Institute. It developed the CRI Profile — a standardized cybersecurity assessment framework based on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework — specifically for the financial services industry. Designed for banks, credit unions, insurers, and wealth managers, the Profile helps institutions assess cyber risk in a way that aligns with regulatory expectations. CRI’s goal is to reduce duplicative assessments, improve consistency, and make it easier for institutions to demonstrate cybersecurity maturity to examiners.
The FFIEC Cybersecurity Assessment Tool (CAT) is being officially sunset on August 31, 2025. While it will no longer be updated or supported after that date, it will remain valid for credit unions in the form of the Automated Cybersecurity Evaluation Toolbox (ACET), which is maintained by the NCUA.
Ncyber will continue to support ACET for credit unions who need to maintain this assessment methodology. However, many credit unions are transitioning to the CRI Profile Assessment for its enhanced efficiency and modern approach to cybersecurity evaluation.
The CRI Profile Assessment is a modern, NIST-aligned methodology that significantly reduces assessment time while providing more relevant, institution-specific questions. It uses a tiered approach with fewer diagnostic statements (208-318 depending on your tier) compared to CAT's 400+ questions.
The questionnaire asks targeted questions about your institution's size, complexity, and risk profile to automatically determine whether you're Tier 1, 2, 3, or 4. This ensures you only answer questions relevant to your institution's risk level.
