What it is

What is risk management software for financial services?

A NY-licensed bank with EU customers and public-company status answers to seven regulators at the same time. RiskWatch scores one access review against four regulators simultaneously, tracks DORA’s 5 pillars to the 17 Jan 2026 EC review, and unifies SOX ITGCs with IT security controls so auditors and CISOs see the same evidence. NYDFS Part 500, DORA, FFIEC, GLBA, PCI DSS, SOX 404, and 13+ state privacy laws — one controls library.

Why FIs move to RiskWatch

Multi-regulator scoring or seven parallel programs.

The economics of multi-jurisdictional FIs broke when DORA went live. The same access-review needs to satisfy NYDFS §500.7 + FFIEC IAM + SOX ITGC + PCI Req 7 + DORA P1 simultaneously — or your team is doing four-times the work.

Pain #1

One bank. Seven regulators. Most teams run seven parallel programs.

A NY-licensed bank with EU customers, public-company status, and card processing answers to NYDFS, FFIEC, GLBA, SOX, PCI, DORA, and 13+ state privacy laws — at the same time. One evidence vault, one controls library, multi-regulator scoring. Same access-review evidence satisfies NYDFS §500.7, FFIEC IAM, SOX ITGCs, and PCI Req 7 simultaneously.

Pain #2

DORA went live January 2025. The EC review is January 2026.

DORA applies to 22,000+ EU financial entities and the ICT vendors who serve them. The 17 Jan 2026 European Commission review will surface enforcement gaps that EU regulators acted on in 2025. 5-pillar readiness tracked per institution · ICT third-party register · CTPP concentration-risk flags · TLPT scenario library.

Pain #3

SOX ITGCs and IT security controls live in different tools. They shouldn't.

Most FIs run SOX 404 ITGCs (access, change, operations) in their internal-audit tool and IT security controls in a SIEM/GRC tool — duplicated effort, divergent evidence. One evidence layer for both. The MRC documentation builder, ITGC continuous monitoring, and material-weakness early-warning flow into the same risk register the CISO sees.

DORA · 5-pillar readiness

The 17 Jan 2026 review is your audit moment.

DORA applied from 17 Jan 2025; the European Commission's review report is due 17 Jan 2026 and will surface enforcement gaps. Five pillars — ICT risk management, incident management, resilience testing, third-party risk, information sharing — each tracked with per-pillar coverage and gap-to-EC-review modeled.

  • ICT third-party registerconcentration risk surfaced; CTPP oversight obligations tracked
  • Major incident notification24-hour, 72-hour, and 1-month milestones with templated artifacts
  • TLPT scenario librarythreat-led penetration testing scenarios mapped to ESA expectations
  • Cross-mapping to NIST + ISODORA control evidence reused for SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST CSF

Multi-regulator stack

One controls library. Seven mandates scored simultaneously.

The same access review captured once satisfies NYDFS §500.7, FFIEC IAM, SOX 404 ITGC, PCI Req 7, GLBA §314.4, and DORA P1 — without copy-paste between four tools. Cross-mapping is bi-directional: from a regulator view, see which controls cover which sections; from a control view, see every regulator that control satisfies.

State privacy laws (CCPA + CPRA, CO, CT, VA, UT, FL, OR, TX, IA, MT, TN, IN, DE) cross-mapped into the same vault — when the 14th state law passes, you score the new requirements against the existing evidence in one pass.

FAQ

Common questions, answered up front.

About NYDFS, DORA, FFIEC, GLBA, SOX, PCI, state privacy laws, and how RiskWatch unifies them.

What is risk management software for financial services?
Risk management software for financial services is a platform that helps banks, credit unions, FIs, insurers, and broker-dealers operate the overlapping cybersecurity, privacy, and ICFR programs the sector requires. RiskWatch unifies NYDFS Part 500, FFIEC IT examinations, GLBA Safeguards Rule (with 2024 amendments), DORA (effective 17 Jan 2025), PCI DSS v4.0.1, SOX 404 ICFR, and 13+ state consumer privacy laws on a single evidence vault — score one access-review practice once, satisfy all seven mandates simultaneously.
How does the platform handle DORA compliance?
DORA's five pillars — ICT risk management, ICT-related incident management, digital operational resilience testing (TLPT), third-party ICT risk, and information sharing — are each tracked as a discrete program with per-pillar coverage % rolled to the board. The ICT third-party provider register flags concentration risk, supports the new Critical Third-Party Provider (CTPP) oversight regime, and produces the major-incident notification artifacts EU supervisors expect within 24 hours of detection. The 17 Jan 2026 EC review milestone is modeled into the gap-to-readiness timeline.
How is NYDFS Part 500 covered?
All 23 sections from §500.1 through §500.20 — risk assessment, CISO designation, multi-factor authentication, encryption, monitoring, vulnerability assessment, incident response, third-party service provider security, and the §500.17 dual-signature certification (CISO + CEO) with materiality assessment per section. Both the §500.17 annual cert and the 72-hour notification clock for significant incidents are first-class. See the dedicated NYDFS Part 500 page for the full feature breakdown.
How does the platform unify SOX ITGCs and IT security controls?
Most FIs split ICFR (Sarbanes-Oxley) and IT security across two tools, with two evidence trails. RiskWatch keeps both on the same control library: an access review captured for SOX §404 ITGC also satisfies NYDFS §500.7 access privilege management, FFIEC IT IAM, and PCI Req 7 — one piece of evidence, four regulators. The MRC documentation builder produces the four elements auditors actually look for, and material-weakness early-warning fires before the auditor finds it.
What about GLBA and the 2024 Safeguards Rule amendments?
The May 13, 2024 GLBA amendments added the 30-day FTC breach notification clock for incidents affecting 500+ consumers. The platform tracks the breach assessment (4-factor risk analysis), produces the FTC notification template with all required elements, runs the WISP (Written Information Security Program) authoring + review cycle, supports Qualified Individual designation, and tracks encryption + MFA + pen testing + service provider oversight per §314.4. See the dedicated GLBA page for full coverage.
Does this work for non-EU banks not subject to DORA?
Yes — every regulator is opt-in per institution. A US-only community bank turns off DORA + state privacy expansion and runs FFIEC + GLBA + state consumer privacy. A multinational money-center bank turns on the full stack. The shared controls library satisfies whichever subset is in scope, and the 17 Jan 2026 DORA review milestone surfaces only for entities with EU exposure.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. The 30-day free trial includes full access — NYDFS, FFIEC, GLBA, DORA, PCI, SOX libraries, the multi-regulator scoring engine, the third-party ICT register, the MRC documentation builder, and 13+ state privacy law cross-mappings. Run a real readiness assessment against your own institution before purchasing.
