Us Finra Expert

FINRA Broker-Dealer Cybersecurity Guidance Expert

Stub-depth expertise for FINRA Cybersecurity Rules (builds on SEC Reg S-P and SEC 17a-4). This plugin is scaffolded from the SCF crosswalk (17 SCF controls map to 39 framework controls) and defers to /grc-engineer:gap-assessment for the actual compliance check.

Framework identity

• SCF framework ID: usa-federal-sro-finra
• Region: Americas
• Country: US
• Regulator: FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority)
• Canonical source: FINRA cybersecurity guidance for broker-dealers

Scope and posture (placeholder — fill in when leveling up)

TODO: replace with framework-specific overview. Minimum sections for Reference-depth upgrade:

• Territorial scope (who and where the framework applies)
• Controlled-entity obligations (controller, processor, covered entity, etc.)
• Mandatory timelines (breach notification, assessment cadence)
• Regulator and enforcement mechanism
• Interaction with other frameworks (adequacy decisions, mutual recognition)

Command routing

All commands in this plugin route through /grc-engineer:gap-assessment with framework ID usa-federal-sro-finra. Reference-depth plugins add:

• evidence-checklist — framework-native evidence by control family
• scope — applicability determination for the organization

Full-depth plugins add framework-specific workflow commands (examples in sibling plugins like soc2, fedramp-rev5, pci-dss).
