Depth of incident response and recovery detail in the 2016 Cyber Guidance

What the RLB Specialist Panel found

2. Depth of incident response and recovery detail in the 2016 Cyber Guidance

  • Question (paraphrased to protect IP): Does the CPMI-IOSCO 2016 Cyber Guidance itself specify detailed operational practices for cyber incident response and recovery, or is that level of detail addressed in later publications?
  • Source regulation: Guidance on Cyber Resilience for Financial Market Infrastructures (CPMI-IOSCO 2016)
  • What AI assistants typically say: AI tools affirmed that the 2016 Cyber Guidance dedicates specific sections to cyber incident response and recovery and provides detailed expectations for FMIs, enumerating operational items such as incident response plans, secondary site use, recovery and resumption planning, and communication protocols during incidents.
  • What the regulator actually says: The operational detail for incident response and recovery at the level described was provided by the FSB's publication "Effective Practices for Cyber Incident Response and Recovery" in October 2020 — four years after the 2016 guidance. That later document contains operational detail for the response and recovery phase that goes beyond what the 2016 guidance specifies, implying the 2016 document's treatment is principles-level rather than operationally prescriptive.
  • Why the AI went wrong: The AI described operational content from a later, supplementary publication as if it were present in the original 2016 guidance, conflating the principles-level text of the 2016 document with the operational detail developed in subsequent years by a related but distinct body.
  • Cited source(s): Regulator portal: https://www.bis.org
Impact for this audience

An auditor who believes the 2016 guidance contains detailed operational requirements for incident response and recovery may design a compliance audit against a level of prescription that the document does not actually impose, or may falsely advise a client that their controls are deficient relative to a standard that is more granular than the original text supports. Equally, if the auditor is assessing the adequacy of a client's controls against the 2016 guidance specifically — rather than the later FSB operational detail — conflating the two documents could result in an audit scope that misrepresents what the applicable 2016 standard actually requires.
