Framework Alignment
Security standards commonly required by banks
Organized for third-party risk intake, internal control committees, and regulator examination readiness.
Security standards
Cyber governance baseline
What banks require
NIST CSF organizes controls around govern, identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover to manage enterprise cyber risk.
Used by CISO and technology-risk teams to align board reporting, security operations, and regulator-facing cyber posture.
How Compact Machines fulfills it
Compact Machines maps platform controls and operating procedures to each NIST function, with ownership and evidence traceability.
Control details
- Control matrix mapped by function and control owner
- Monitoring and incident lifecycle aligned to detect/respond expectations
- Documented recovery and post-incident governance checkpoints
Control Domains
Controls your bank teams will ask about first
Operational safeguards mapped to real-world control testing, not checklist-only statements.
Identity, Access, and Privilege
- Role-based access controls with least-privilege defaults
- SSO and MFA enforcement for operator and admin personas
- Privileged action logging with immutable event history
- Approval gates for production access and policy changes
Data Protection and Residency
- Encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest (AES-256 class controls)
- Region-scoped data processing and residency boundary enforcement
- Tenant isolation for storage, compute, and model artifacts
- Retention and deletion workflows aligned to policy obligations
Network and Runtime Security
- Private networking options and ingress restriction controls
- Environment segmentation by workload, stage, and tenant
- Runtime hardening with image provenance and patch cadence
- DDoS, WAF, and traffic inspection integration patterns
Model Governance and Explainability
- Versioned model lineage with threshold and config history
- Per-decision rationale and evidence available for review teams
- Approval workflow for model release and rollback operations
- Drift monitoring and retraining governance checkpoints
Operational Assurance
How operations, response, and governance are run
Designed for measurable response performance, named ownership, and evidence your stakeholders can validate.
Security monitoring coverage
Initial incident triage objective
Privileged action audit logging
Approval model for high-risk changes
Incident response lifecycle
Detect
Continuous monitoring, alert enrichment, and triage routing.
Contain
Scoped access restrictions and workload isolation procedures.
Eradicate
Root-cause remediation and patch/change deployment controls.
Recover
Controlled restoration with validation and post-incident review.
Third-party risk review support
Your security and procurement teams receive control narratives, architecture boundaries, and evidence references in a format that fits bank vendor intake workflows. This shortens review cycles and gives clear traceability from policy requirement to implemented control.
Due Diligence Artifacts
Artifacts your security and audit teams can request
Practical documentation for pre-pilot assessment, onboarding approval, and ongoing governance checkpoints.
Control Mapping Workbook
Mapped controls by framework, owner, and implementation status for security and risk review teams.
Architecture and Boundary Diagram
Network, identity, and data-flow boundaries showing tenant and environment isolation.
Incident Response Playbook
Severity matrix, response runbooks, communication procedures, and post-incident review workflow.
Governance and Policy Pack
Change management, model governance, access governance, and evidence-retention policy set.
