Hi all;
Not to cast any dispersions on anything, but IMHO, the FFIEC guidelines are pretty
lame. They're OK for "management and operational" type reviews, but they just don't
cut it for technical work. I'd look to a more solid technical standard, like
nsa.gov, nist.gov, or OSSTMM Ver. 2. Those are the things that I use for (almost
exclusively) banks. We've developed custom testing programs using these as
standards.
