Cybersecurity for Community Banks
FFIEC-aligned security that passes exams. Without the enterprise bloat.
// THE PROBLEM
The Community Bank Security Gap
Your examiner wants to see enterprise-grade security controls. The vendors pitch you tools designed for banks 100 times your size. The consultants hand you frameworks built for billion-dollar institutions.
Meanwhile, you're trying to run a bank with 50 employees, a lean IT team, and a budget that doesn't include enterprise-scale security platforms.
You need security that works for community banks. Not watered-down enterprise advice.
// WHEN YOU NEED HELP
You Need Help When...
Exam Season Is Coming
Your FFIEC exam is in 90 days. Last time you got findings on vendor risk management, incident response, and information security. You need real fixes, not promises.
Your MSP Handles Tech, Not Strategy
Your managed service provider patches servers and manages backups. But when the examiner asks about your information security program, nobody owns that answer.
Compliance Is Getting Complex
GLBA, FFIEC, CIS Controls, state breach notification laws. You're not sure what applies, what's priority, or where to start.
An Incident Happened
Ransomware, BEC attack, or breach. You contained it. But the examiner wants to know about root cause, remediation, and preventing recurrence.
