Solution

CRI Profile Compliance

Operationalize the Cyber Risk Institute (CRI) Profile to align governance, risk, and compliance programs — simplifying assessments, evidence management, and regulatory reporting across financial services.

Solution Overview

The CRI Profile Compliance solution enables financial institutions to operationalize the Cyber Risk Institute (CRI) Profile within SmartSuite — uniting cybersecurity, risk, and compliance management in one connected system.
SmartSuite simplifies alignment to the FFIEC Cybersecurity Assessment Tool (CAT), NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), and other regulatory expectations by linking each CRI function, category, and sub-category to your internal controls, policies, and evidence.
Automated workflows guide teams through self-assessments, gap analyses, and remediation tracking, ensuring continuous readiness for audits and regulatory exams.
SmartSuite’s unique position as the platform used by the Cyber Risk Institute itself ensures that institutions can leverage the same operational framework trusted by leading banks and regulators.
