Panaseer collaborates with Cyber Risk Institute to enhance control-based compliance for Financial Institutions

NEW YORK – April 29, 2025 – Panaseer, the pioneer of Continuous Controls Monitoring (CCM), today announced its relationship with the Cyber Risk Institute (CRI) as part of its Innovator Program. This collaboration enables financial institutions to seamlessly align their cybersecurity control measurement with the CRI Profile, a widely adopted framework developed by and for the financial sector.

What is the Cyber Risk Institute?

The CRI Profile, based on globally recognized standards, connects the dots between cyber best practices and regulatory expectations worldwide, offering a streamlined approach to managing cybersecurity risk.

The CRI Profile brings together requirements from a broad spectrum of global regulations, including NIST, FFIEC, ISO, NYDFS Part 500, and DORA, into a single, comprehensive framework tailored for the financial sector. It distils more than 2,400 cybersecurity regulations into 318 concise control objectives, giving institutions a more efficient, risk-based path to compliance.

Built on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and extended with sector-specific functions like Govern and Extend, the Profile simplifies oversight and reporting. By unifying disparate standards, it significantly reduces the operational burden on security teams, minimizing the need for expert interviews and redundant evidence collection and cutting regulatory exam time by an average of 35%.

The Panaseer and CRI partnership

Many of Panaseer’s customers, including leading global banks, already use the CRI Profile to streamline cybersecurity risk management. By integrating the CRI Profile into its platform, Panaseer enhances its ability to automate control measurement, close compliance gaps, and generate regulator-ready reporting across multiple jurisdictions and business units.

Transforming cyber risk with continuous CRI reporting

Panaseer is also announcing the launch of its CRI Dashboard, which provides continuous tracking of CRI compliance and gives organizations real-time visibility into control performance.

Using Panaseer, financial institutions gain the ability to:

• Automated control mapping: Effortlessly map enterprise control data to CRI Profile v2.0 requirements with pre-integrated dashboards.
• Continuous compliance tracking: Monitor compliance performance in real time, with historical benchmarking and prioritized remediation actions.
• Defensible, audit-ready evidence: Generate validated, audit-ready reports in minutes using accurate data across identity, asset, vulnerability, and application domains—no surveys or spreadsheets required.
• Contextual reporting for stakeholders: Provide business-contextualized reports to executives, boards, and regulators that demonstrate not only whether controls are in place but also how effectively they are functioning.

Panaseer is redefining the way organizations manage and measure cybersecurity controls. With innovations such as the Cyber Scorecard and Compound Risk, Panaseer provides continuous, data-driven insights into control effectiveness, empowering financial institutions to automate risk measurement and ensure ongoing compliance.
