"New Set of Eyes"

Every Wednesday, including today, you can check out GraVoc's new advertising spot on Banker & Tradesman's website. This spot features GraVoc's information security services as "a new set of eyes" for regional banks and credit unions looking to verify their compliance with laws such as the Massachusetts Privacy Law and GLBA.

Many regulatory examiners encourage financial institutions to perform due diligence on their risk management and audit vendors, essentially encouraging another set of eyes. Obviously, with three ISACA-certified professionals on staff, we would like to be that set of eyes. Furthermore, we find it to be troubling that many audit firms find no problem performing risk management work and then auditing their own work. GraVoc can be there on either side of the equation, providing true impartiality.

GraVoc is aware that many financial institutions are currently feeling pressure to complete certain projects by the end of the year. With ten weeks left before the new year, we strongly encourage firms trying to accomplish such a task to contact us sooner than later so that we can initiate, perform, and complete risk management and information security projects in a timely fashion.

Among the services offered by GraVoc's information security team include testing of your network perimeter, evaluation of controls within your network, risk assessment services, and business continuity plan development and training. The Peabody, MA-based consulting firm, featuring individuals with the CISA, CRISC, and CISM designations from the Information Systems Audit and Controls Association, also has practices dedicated to information systems, professional & IT services, and media production. For more information about GraVoc, we strongly encourage you to contact the offices at 978-538-9055 or visit gravoc.com.
