The Future of Cybersecurity & Compliance for Banking
Human expertise. AI-enhanced assurance. Always-on examination readiness. Privaxi helps community banks, regional banks, and holding companies satisfy GLBA, prepare for FDIC and state examinations, and govern emerging technology without the chaos of spreadsheets, screenshots, and siloed vendors.
Why Change Can’t Wait
The ground has shifted underneath established programs. The FFIEC retired the Cybersecurity Assessment Tool in August 2025, and institutions are now expected to document what replaced it. Vendor oversight expectations span the full third-party lifecycle. Artificial intelligence is entering fraud detection, underwriting, and customer service faster than governance can absorb it, and the model risk guidance does not reach generative or agentic systems.
The institutions that succeed will not be the ones with the largest security teams. They will be the ones that reduce operational friction, automate assurance workflows, and operationalize trust without sacrificing rigor. In most banks, that begins with giving the Information Security Officer role the capacity it was never funded to have.

Industry Challenges We Solve
Privaxi helps bank leadership address the most common friction points that slow examinations, increase risk, and drain internal capacity.
Regulatory Burden & Examination Fatigue
Information security teams lose weeks preparing for each examination and audit, gathering the same artifacts by hand from core systems, cloud platforms, identity providers, and vendor files. Findings from the prior cycle are frequently still open when the next one begins. Privaxi replaces reactive preparation with continuous assurance, automated evidence collection, and examination-ready reporting, so compliance becomes part of daily operations rather than a recurring emergency.
Cyber Risk & Payment Fraud
Banks remain primary targets for ransomware, business email compromise, credential abuse, and wire fraud. Synthetic voice and video now defeat verification procedures written on the assumption that the caller is human and the number on file is current. Privaxi validates control effectiveness where loss actually occurs, including payment initiation, privileged access, and recovery, through real testing and scenario-driven exercises that produce corrective actions rather than attendance records.
Third-Party Concentration & Vendor Sprawl
A bank's risk profile is largely a function of its vendors. Core processing, digital banking, and cloud hosting concentrate critical operations in a small number of providers, and due diligence files go stale between renewals. Privaxi reduces complexity by building one defensible third-party program: a scored vendor inventory, due diligence proportionate to risk, and ongoing monitoring that withstands examiner scrutiny.
Emerging Technology & AI Governance
Artificial intelligence is entering fraud detection, underwriting, and customer service faster than governance can absorb it, including the AI already embedded in vendor platforms. Existing model risk guidance does not reach generative or agentic systems. Privaxi extends your framework to artificial intelligence under the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, covering the AI use inventory, acceptable use policy, approval workflow, and monitoring expectations.
Privaxi Solutions for Banking
Information Security Officer as a Service
Privaxi owns the program calendar, produces the required artifacts, participates in the IT Steering Committee, and reports to the board.
What this looks like in practice:
Risk assessments, policy maintenance, access reviews, awareness and phishing programs, incident response, tabletop exercises, penetration testing coordination, and the annual board report are delivered on a fixed cadence.
FDIC & State Examination Support
What this looks like in practice:
Privaxi validates the Information Technology Profile with management, assembles the evidence package, and prepares leadership for examiner interviews. Afterward, Privaxi drafts management responses and tracks remediation to closure with named owners and target dates. The same approach supports state examinations and external audits.
Vendor & Third-Party Risk Management
What this looks like in practice:
Privaxi scores every third party, sets due diligence depth by tier, reviews attestation reports for scope and exceptions, and reports concentration risk to the IT Steering Committee.
NIST CSF 2.0 & AI Governance
What this looks like in practice:
Privaxi runs the NIST CSF 2.0 transition and maturity assessment, then extends that structure to artificial intelligence under the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, covering the AI use inventory, acceptable use policy, approval workflow, and monitoring expectations.
Why Privaxi
Privaxi is built for regulated institutions that need more than a checklist. We combine real-world expertise with automation to deliver continuous, defensible assurance.
Security & Compliance by Design
Privaxi advisors have held the Information Security Officer role and presented to examiners, so your program is grounded in proven controls and examination-grade rigor.
Continuous, Not Point-in-Time
Compliance as a Service keeps the institution examination-ready year-round, so examinations confirm your posture instead of defining it.
Human Expertise + AI
Automation reduces manual work, while expert oversight keeps decisions explainable and defensible to both a board and a regulator.
Faster Time-to-Assurance
Pre-mapped frameworks and repeatable delivery accelerate readiness and reduce surprises across examination, audit, and insurance cycles.
Getting Started
Three steps to continuous assurance, without disruption to the institution.
01 — Discovery
Privaxi evaluates the current program, prior examination and audit findings, risk assessment, and vendor inventory, then maps a practical roadmap aligned to your examination cycle.
02 — Proof of Value
Launch a targeted engagement, such as an examination readiness review, a GLBA risk assessment, or a vendor program rebuild, to quantify impact quickly.
03 — Scale with Confidence
Move to a full Information Security Officer program with a fixed delivery calendar, consistent board-level reporting, and clear ownership.
