Maintaining trust is essential.
The Banking Industry are not in the money business, they are in the 'safety and trust' business. Customers trust you to protect their money. To safeguard their personal assets and to keep them safe.
At the same time, banking is one of the hardest regulated spaces in the world. Not adhering to the rules of the game can severely effect your business.

Virtual Information Security Officer (VISO)
In today’s landscape, every bank or credit union needs senior-level guidance to protect its clients, employees, and business. We developed our Virtual Information Security Officer (VISO) service to make this critical role accessible for all organizations. Our Virtual Information Security Officer service provides you with one-on-one access to your very own Chief Information Security Officer, but for pennies on the dollar compared to a full-time staff member. Your Vala Secure VISO will craft and oversee cybersecurity strategy and implementation for your business.
IT Based Risk AssessmentsRisk assessments give a high-level look at your organization, and identify any major areas of risk, while delivering an actionable report to help you mitigate any risks that were found.
FFIEC and GLBA Technology Audits
We can audit and review based off of the latest FFIEC guidance, including GLBA and CAT assessments to provide you a risk-based report on your gaps. This will include the references back to the actual regulation and how to stay compliant.
Breach Assessments
A breach assessment is a real-time inspection to test your organization at a number of levels. We provide both regulatory and security based testing into this assessment to ultimately share a report with you on where you're gaps are and how to mitigate them.
We will use a variety of cutting-edge tools to try and gain access to your network. This exercise is ultimately to find the problems before the bad guys do.
Penetration Testing - Wireless
Wireless penetration testing tests your wireless network borders from close proximity and looks for vulnerabilities from the outside in. This is different from a traditional penetration test as it's sole focus in the wireless access points and those vulnerabilities.
Internal Vulnerability Assessment
An Internal Vulnerability Assessment tests your internal network to spot any potential vulnerabilities.
Social Engineering from Vala Secure tests your organization’s “human network,” to protect your bank or financial institution. Various services include phone calls, phishing emails, and dumpster diving for critical information that could be used in other attacks.
Vulnerability Management as a Service (VMaaS)
We will conduct annual assessments to ensure your network is consistently monitored for vulnerabilities.
We will identify gaps between your current standards and the standards required to achieve and maintain ISO 27001 certification.
SOC Reporting from Vala Secure prepares you for SOC 2 and SOC 3 testing, completed by external auditors.
Stay compliant and protect your customers.
