The FFIEC members revised and renamed the Development and Acquisition booklet to Development, Acquisition, and Maintenance to reflect the changing technological environment and increasing need for security and resilience, including developmental design, acquisition and procurement, and maintenance and change control processes for information technology systems. It also provides examiners with fundamental examination expectations regarding developmental quality controls, acquisition and procurement planning and execution, governance and risk management, and maintenance and change control practices of regulated entities.
Webinar participants are encouraged to submit questions in advance by emailing FFIECRegistration@FDIC.gov. The email’s subject line should read, “FFIEC IT Handbook Webinar.”
The new booklet is just one in a series of IT-related booklets that make up the FFIEC’s “Information Technology Examination Handbook.” For additional information, please refer to this recent Compliance Courier.
