Continuous monitoring that examiners trust

Monitoring only earns trust when your what we test matches your stated frameworks and risk appetite. Cicrim helps you align a practical control library to the frameworks your regulators and auditors already recognize, and we keep it right-sized for your bank.

• What we deliver: A normalized control library with ownership, frequency, evidence type, and pass/fail criteria.
• Exam-ready output: A crosswalk showing how each control supports your chosen framework(s) and internal policy.

Green dashboards don’t impress examiners. What does: KRIs that tie to material risks, have defined thresholds, and create predictable escalation. We design KRIs that stay stable quarter-to-quarter, with changes tracked and approved.

• Examples: Privileged access exceptions aging, MFA coverage, patch SLA adherence, failed backup restore tests, vendor evidence delinquency, model change volume, and high-risk findings past due.
• Governance: Thresholds, owners, escalation path, and documentation of why each KRI matters.

The difference between a claimed control and proof is usually evidence hygiene. Cicrim implements evidence capture that’s timestamped, attributable, and organized the way examiners and auditors expect.

• Where it shows up: Access reviews, vulnerability and patch reporting, endpoint coverage, backup testing, change management, and ticket-based remediation.
• Outcome: Repeatable monthly evidence packs with minimal manual assembly.

Examiners look for two things: How fast issues are found, and whether they are consistently fixed. We implement an exception workflow that makes stagnation visible and remediation provable.

• Workflow: Severity, owner, due date, compensating controls, and evidence of completion.
• Reporting: Aging by severity and business owner, repeat findings, and time to remediate trends.

Vendor oversight breaks when reviews are annual-only and evidence arrives late. Cicrim adds continuous signals: SLA adherence, incident notifications, SOC report tracking, contract obligations, and critical vendor concentration risk.

• What we track: Required evidence, renewal dates, open issues, cybersecurity attestations, and fourth-party dependencies for critical services.
• Exam-ready output: A living inventory with risk ratings and current status.

If you use models, vendor or in-house, you need evidence of ongoing stability. Cicrim sets up practical model monitoring that supports model risk expectations: Drift signals, performance checks, change tracking, and human override patterns.

• What we monitor: Input drift, approval/decline distribution shifts, exception and override rates, policy rule changes, and data lineage changes.
• Outcome: A model change log and monitoring cadence that stands up in review.

We establish a simple cadence: Weekly exception triage, monthly monitoring packs, quarterly trend reporting, and a board/audit committee view that stays consistent.

• Includes: Owners, schedules, RACI, and escalation triggers.

Your monthly pack includes KRI summaries, exception aging, completed tests, remediation status, and notable changes, with short, clear narratives that auditors and examiners can follow quickly.

• Goal: Reduce scramble time and improve consistency across cycles.

Most banks already own part of the stack across ticketing, IAM, endpoint tooling, SIEM/MDR, vulnerability scanning and GRC. We connect and normalize outputs first, then recommend minimal add-ons where necessary.

• Outcome: Fewer duplicate reports, clearer ownership, cleaner evidence trails.

Continuous monitoring is the starting line. We translate trends into targeted remediation and investment decisions: Which controls to strengthen, which vendors to revisit, and which processes are creating repeat findings.

• Includes: Prioritized recommendations, effort sizing, and quick wins.
