Webinars

IT risk assessments remain a cornerstone of a strong information security program, but the way institutions approach them has changed. What was once a periodic, compliance-driven exercise is now expected to be a living process that informs decision-making, prioritizes controls, and keeps pace with evolving threats, technology, and regulatory expectations.

In this Ask the Experts session, Cherry Bekaert Advisory’s Audrey Magennis and Kirsten Furlong will share practical context on how IT risk assessments are being performed today across banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions. They will answer your most commonly asked questions about what examiners expect, where institutions struggle, and how to make the process meaningful instead of mechanical.

In this session, you will learn and ask questions about:

- How IT risk assessments have evolved from static reports to ongoing risk management tools
- Common pitfalls institutions face when scoping, scoring, and documenting risk
- How to align risk assessments with GLBA, FFIEC, and examiner expectations
- Practical approaches to identifying assets, threats, controls, and residual risk
- How to keep risk assessments current without overcomplicating the process

We will close the session with a brief look at how Tandem supports IT risk assessments by providing structure, consistency, and traceability across assets, controls, and regulatory requirements.

On February 18, 2026, the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced the completion of an initiative focused on strengthening cybersecurity and risk management for artificial intelligence (AI). As part of this effort, the Treasury is releasing new guidance resources developed in collaboration with federal regulators, state regulators, and industry leaders.

Join us on Thursday, April 30 for a webinar exploring key takeaways from the Treasury’s guidance and what it means for AI governance, risk management, and compliance.

In this session, attendees will learn:

- What federal and state regulators are saying about AI
- The most common AI risks and associated cybersecurity best practices
- Practical steps to strengthen AI risk management within your organization

Stick around after the educational part of the webinar for a look at Tandem’s AI risk management features, including our AI risk assessment, AI policy, and AI vendor review templates.
