WHITE PAPER
IT Risk Assessment Checklist for Community Banks
Identify risk. Prioritize what matters. Turn findings into action.
An IT risk assessment should be more than a document you complete for an examiner.
Done well, it can help your bank uncover vulnerabilities, identify gaps in your technology environment, prioritize resources, and make better cybersecurity and IT decisions.
Download our Community Bank IT Risk Assessment Checklist for a practical way to evaluate key areas of technology risk and start meaningful conversations within your bank.
What’s Inside:
The checklist walks through key areas of IT and cybersecurity risk, including:
- IT governance and risk management
- Asset inventory and technology lifecycle
- Identity and access management
- Patch and vulnerability management
- Endpoint and network security
- Microsoft 365 and cloud security
- Data protection
- Backup and disaster recovery
- Vendor and third-party risk
- Security awareness
- Incident response
- Business continuity
Each section also includes questions designed to help you look beyond whether a control simply exists and consider whether it is actually working.
From Checklist to Action
Ready to take a closer look at your IT risk?
The goal isn’t to eliminate every technology risk.
It’s to understand your biggest exposures, determine which risks need attention first, assign ownership, and build a plan to address them.
The guide also includes a simple action-planning section to help your team identify its top three priorities and define what happens next.
