FFIEC COMPLIANCE

FFIEC Compliance

Technijian supports FFIEC-aligned business continuity planning for financial institutions in Irvine and Orange County. The work starts with risk assessment, business impact analysis, and recovery planning.

Sound Familiar?

  • Examiners expect a documented business continuity plan aligned to FFIEC guidance, and what your institution has on file is outdated, generic, or incomplete.
  • No formal risk assessment has ever been done to identify the specific threats and vulnerabilities your operations actually face.
  • Your team has not completed a business impact analysis (BIA), so recovery priorities remain unclear.
  • Your institution has not defined recovery time objectives (RTO) or recovery point objectives (RPO). Teams need these targets to plan for outages.
  • Leadership has a continuity plan on paper but no confidence it would hold up against a real disaster, cyber-attack, or other unforeseen disruption.

The Typical Approach vs. Technijian

❌ Typical Provider

A generic template cannot describe every risk your institution faces. Identify critical business functions, assess threats, and define recovery targets. Then test the plan and address gaps before an examination or disruption.

✓ The Technijian Way

Technijian builds business continuity plans around applicable FFIEC guidance. A risk assessment identifies threats and vulnerabilities. A business impact analysis maps critical functions and the effect of disruption. Recovery strategies then define roles, dependencies, and RTO/RPO targets. Scope and testing determine whether those targets are achievable. Engagements start with a free assessment.

What’s Included

  • Risk Assessment — Identifying the potential threats and vulnerabilities your institution faces, and evaluating the impact different types of disruptions could have on your operations.
  • Business Impact Analysis (BIA) — Analyzing your critical business functions and processes to determine the potential impact of an interruption to each one.
  • Strategy Development — Creating strategies to maintain and recover business functions, and establishing recovery time objectives (RTO) and recovery point objectives (RPO).
  • FFIEC Framework Alignment — Building your continuity program on the FFIEC guidelines that govern how financial institutions prepare for, respond to, and recover from disruptions.
  • Free Assessment — A no-cost starting point to evaluate where your current business continuity posture stands before any engagement begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is FFIEC, and why does it apply to our business continuity plan?

The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) publishes guidance for financial institutions and their examiners. Its business continuity guidance covers preparation, response, and recovery. We use the applicable guidance to structure the work around your institution's operations.

What does Technijian's FFIEC-based business continuity engagement include?

First, a risk assessment identifies threats, vulnerabilities, and possible impacts. Next, a business impact analysis identifies critical functions and recovery priorities. Finally, strategy development defines recovery steps, responsibilities, RTO, and RPO. Testing helps determine whether the proposed targets are achievable.

What is a Business Impact Analysis (BIA), and why does our institution need one?

A BIA examines critical business functions and the impact of an interruption. It helps your team decide which processes must recover first. Those priorities inform recovery time and data-loss targets.

What are RTO and RPO, and how are they set?

RTO sets the target time to restore a function. RPO sets the acceptable data-loss window. Technijian helps define these targets using the risk assessment and BIA. Your systems, recovery scope, and test results determine whether you can meet them.

Does business continuity planning only cover cyber-attacks?

No. The plan should cover relevant disruptions, including natural disasters, cyber-attacks, and failures of critical systems or services. The risk assessment identifies the threats that apply to your institution.

How do we get started?

Engagements begin with a free assessment, which gives you a clear picture of your current business continuity posture before you commit to any further work.
