Re: Any banking security best practices and survey information?

The FFIEC member board is made up from the FRB, FDIC, NCUA, OCC, and OTS so their guidelines are always a good source 
of info for this industry.

You will also find the guides will point to the occasional NIST document. 
(http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/index.html)

Others from the list may have some links for the best practices on level of compliance for GLBA 501b 
(http://banking.senate.gov/conf/fintl5.pdf), along with the ever present SOX standards for SEC clients.

Sometimes FinCEN releases something interesting, although not so much via email lately since the "incident"
