There are 5 major risk categories including, technologies and connection types, delivery channels, online and mobile products and technology service, organizational characteristics, and external threats. In addition, there are 5 levels of cyber security preparedness ('Maturity') for financial institutions, ranging from baseline, evolving, and intermediate, to advanced, and innovative. These include examination of various categories ('Domains') including, 'cyber risk management and oversight', 'threat intelligence and collaboration', 'cyber security controls', 'external dependency management', and 'cyber incident management and resilience'. Cyber security principles taken from the FFIEC Information Technology Examination Handbook were incorporated in the Assessment 'tool'.
