Community banks, boutique banks, and other financial institutions rely on ImageQuest’s technical expertise for bank cybersecurity, banking IT support, IT compliance, and banking operation needs.
Their partnerships with us allow them to focus on meeting customer needs in the highly competitive banking environment.
As you know, banks are subject to Information Security regulations that often exceed those of other industries. There are vendor management requirements, incident response planning and testing, business continuity planning, IT documentation, and so much more.
ImageQuest’s capabilities offer the cybersecurity measures community banks need today. From penetration testing to a fractional share CISO, we have what you need for stress-free network operations, data security, and successful IT examinations. See what makes ImageQuest different from other Nashville, TN, technology companies. Security and compliance are vital-but there’s even more!
Technology should enhance your operations, not slow down your banking team. When IT issues keep your team from delivering, you need a technology partner who works behind the scenes on your IT and Information Security needs. This lets you focus on operations.
Your bank may also need the services of a Chief Information Security Officer. But in many cases, it’s not feasible to hire a full-time CISO. Let ImageQuest act as your bank’s CISO virtually. Then your internal IT team can focus on business initiatives and day-to-day operations while your bank stays secure and within budget.
We can even establish a fractional share agreement, where we partner with you to support your IT team, assist with information security, advise your bank directors, and provide proactive guidance in the fast- and ever-evolving technology and cybersecurity worlds.
Government loan programs and interest rates keep bankers hopping. Imagine if you had a trusted IT partner you could turn to in these hectic times.

We are happy to sit down and review your IT issues, data security concerns, and regulatory to-do list.
Our experts are ready to assist you with technology planning, vendor management, incident response planning, reports for your board or audit committee, and other documentation examiners require.Your job is to fund ideas, support the local community, and ensure a stable future for many families. We can help you focus on the aspects of banking you love, so you can confidently let go of the IT issues keeping your team up at night.
First Southern National Bank of Stanford, KY, sought to take its Information Security program to a higher level. “We didn’t have enough people to go around or enough hours to do it.” So the bank reached out to ImageQuest – and now “we sleep a little better at night.”
Do you have a good grasp on all the security and compliance measures you’re required to follow? Do you have questions you’d like to ask a banking operations advisor?
Here are two of the most common questions bankers ask our banking IT support professionals:
The quick answer is with a Vendor Management Program. This is a systematic approach to regularly checking and assessing the security measures of your vendors – including their vendors, and even their vendors’ vendors.
A successful Vendor Management program will have reports on security measures deployed by vendors, reports on how your vendors assess their vendors’ security, and further information on the security of fourth-party vendors. A hack of one could easily ripple into your bank if each step is not tightly buttoned up.
A successful program will also include risk ratings that review how critical the vendors’ services are to your overall business and what access that vendor has to your IT systems or Non-Public Information (NPI).
Questions include: What data and systems can your vendors access? Do your vendors encrypt your data? What measures do your vendors have in place for business continuity and disaster recovery? How do your vendors vet the employees who work with your data? And what is the process to initiate and terminate a business relationship when data is involved?
Best practices here included scheduled reviews of your vendors. Frequency is affected with vendors involved in mergers, acquisitions, affected by regulation changes, or experiencing management changes.
Are you ready to partner with IT professionals who can ensure that you AND your vendors comply with banking industry guidelines? Look no further than ImageQuest.
Banking today serves customers anywhere, which drives the need for modern data security requirements. And those requirements can be complex and evolving in response to complex and evolving cyberattacks.

As an outsourced managed security services provider, an MSSP can handle all your complex cybersecurity needs and help with compliance requirements. Whether implementing a pen test (penetration testing), needing documentation to show an examiner, or enhancing your cybersecurity measures, an MSSP like ImageQuest can help. You can learn more here.
