FFIEC. GLBA. BSA/AML. Heightened standards. One program.

Banks run under a stack of regulators — OCC, FDIC, FRB, NCUA, and state DFS — each with its own examination calendar and its own view of the same control library. Talarity runs FFIEC IT, GLBA Safeguards, BSA/AML, FFIEC CAT, and third-party risk in one continuous program.

What you're up against

Sound familiar?

Every prudential examiner uses the FFIEC IT Handbook — but you're running it as a project, not a program.

Service-provider risk (OCC's interagency third-party guidance) is a different framework from the rest of your GRC stack.

Examiners want FFIEC CAT scoring; your board wants NIST CSF — same evidence, two formats, two refreshes.

BSA/AML controls live in a different system from everything else, but examiners ask about them in the same conversation.

FFIEC's 36-hour incident notification rule isn't wired to your existing IR workflow.

The reality

An examination cycle isn't a project. It's a way of operating.

Banks don't run between exams — they run through them. The FFIEC IT Handbook is the lingua franca: the same book the OCC examiner brings to your bank as the FDIC examiner brings to the bank across town. Layered on top is GLBA Safeguards, the FFIEC CAT maturity model, BSA/AML controls in their own world, heightened standards for the largest banks, the interagency third-party risk guidance, and the FFIEC's 36-hour incident notification rule. Each one is testing controls that share most of their surface area.

Most banks ran SOX or SOC 2 first, then bolted everything else on. The result: FFIEC controls in one tool, AML in another, third-party risk in a third, and a binder marked 'examination prep' that gets rebuilt every two years. Examiners notice. They don't say so on the way out, but the MRA letters tell you what they thought.

Talarity runs every framework off the same control library. FFIEC IT mapped to NIST CSF mapped to your SOC 2. Service-provider reviews on the same timeline as your own controls. BSA/AML controls visible in the same dashboard. The 36-hour notification clock answered from the incident program you already run — not a separate workflow standing up next to it.

Outcomes

What you'll be able to say.

What changes when Talarity is the system of record for the program — not the spreadsheets surrounding it.

Walk into a prudential examination with the FFIEC IT Handbook already mapped to your control library.

Give examiners a NIST CSF view, a FFIEC CAT view, and a SOC 2 view from one evidence base.

Run service-provider risk reviews on the same calendar as the rest of the program.

Answer the FFIEC 36-hour notification rule inside the clock instead of outside it.
