RSM Among First to Integrate Cyber Risk Institute (CRI) Profile, Enhancing Cyber Risk Support for Clients

TORONTO, ON – (October 1, 2025) – RSM has announced it is among the first firms to integrate the Cyber Risk Institute (CRI) Profile into its cyber consulting services as a CRI Premium Innovator. This collaboration with the Cyber Risk Institute, a not-for-profit coalition of financial institutions and trade associations, strengthens RSM’s commitment to helping clients navigate today’s complex cyber risk landscape with greater precision and confidence.

A framework for the future

CRI Profile has emerged as a leading alternative to legacy tools, offering diagnostic-driven criteria and crosswalks to major regulatory frameworks, making it easier for institutions to assess, align and act on cyber risk priorities.

“At RSM Canada, we see the CRI Profile as a powerful tool that helps our clients navigate the evolving cybersecurity landscape with confidence," said Atul Ohja, North America cyber engineering leader at RSM Canada. "It brings clarity to complex risk areas and aligns well with our commitment to delivering tailored, forward-looking cyber solutions."

Looking ahead

With rising demand from financial institutions seeking more robust and prescriptive frameworks, RSM offers a differentiated path forward that combines regulatory precision with tailored delivery. As the industry transitions away from the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council Cybersecurity Assessment Tool, RSM is uniquely positioned to guide institutions with clarity, confidence and deep cybersecurity insight.

In Canada, the integration of the CRI Profile enhances RSM's advanced consulting capabilities–supporting regulatory alignment and providing actionable insights into emerging technologies.
