Download FFIEC’s comprehensive handbook for Business Continuity Planning.
The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) has published a comprehensive business continuity planning guide for all financial institutions. This is considered the industry standard for compliance and should be used by all financial institutions in their planning and recovery efforts.
The FFIEC handbook specifies that financial institutions should create a thorough Business Continuity Plan appropriate to the size and complexity of the institution, with the goal of minimizing financial losses to the institution, maintaining service to customers and financial markets, and mitigating disruptions to operations.
Business Protector for Credit Unions and for Community Banks incorporate the standards from the FFIEC handbook in its methodology, and is designed to work hand and hand with this guide to help you comply with requirements and best practices for financial institutions.
