SECURITY ASSESSMENTS FOR COMMUNITY BANKS

The OST Community Bank Security Hat Trick

80% of all community bank security breaches are inside jobs.

A shocking fact, yes. Which is why responsible IT managers bring in white hat consultants to test for weaknesses and vulnerabilities in their network. That's where we can do you one better.

Our white hat is shinier than theirs.

When it comes to 'white hat' assessments, our expert staff and proprietary system makes the competitors look more like grey cobbler's hats in comparison. Meanwhile, our fast, painless, (and more affordable) Montgomery Method™ offers crisp, form-fitting results like a gleaming, 10-gallon, rhinestone-encrusted cowboy hat (the kind the good guy wears).

Industry-specific experience.

We're no newbies. Our exclusive Montgomery Method, the brainchild of noted security assessment expert Scott Montgomery, reflects the insight gained from over 500 security assessments. It's FFIEC centered (yes, the hat is a perfect fit), so it offers laser-focused expertise that makes G-L-B-A compliance issues a non-issue.

Meet SARA, our kick-butt secret weapon.

You know the cool gizmos on Mission Impossible? We've got one that's ours and ours alone. She's called SARA™ (Security Appliance for Remote Assessment). She's a 100% secure device dressed in a military grade case, shippable to any location in the world. Just plug her into your network and SARA pulls back the curtain, showing us every weak password, every vulnerable IP address — everything. But don't mess with SARA, her data self-destructs if tampered with (See? We're not kidding. Totally mission impossible...).


      Meet SARA: Beautiful. Smart. Tough as nails.

Mind-numbingly fast (and affordable too).

Unlike consultants who can tie your staff up for hours on end, we need only about 10 minutes of your time to get started. SARA tells us everything we need to know so we don't have to bug your team. And remember, we've got security assessment down to a science, so you won't wait the typical 2-3 weeks to see results. We work like clockwork, with only a 48-hour window between the time we start and the time we present our findings to you in clear, concise detail. That efficiency allows us to offer our services at a very attractive price.

Get ready for the jaw drop.

You will be impressed with our deep expertise, our well-oiled process, and our illuminating results. Our final presentation includes an IP vulnerability index, a password strength rating, and two statistically relevant red-yellow-green light ratings to demonstrate how you compare to your peers. But we never use the results as a prologue to a sales pitch. We offer a full list of recommendations based on our findings, but don't include estimates so we can keep our assessment completely unbiased.

Proud of our geeks.

One last thing. Unlike some brainiacs in the biz, our team works with your IT staff in the spirit of cooperation and teamwork. We're low key and laid back, (we're from the midwest for crying out loud). As our FastGrowth 100 rank attests, we just also happen to be very good at what we do. VERY good. You'll be so glad you called.
