IT & CYBERSECURITY FOR FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS

Protect the ways money moves, not just the systems behind it.

Your core banking platforms are supported by specialized providers. NTS helps secure the email, identities, workstations, and networks your team uses to interact with those systems, which reduces fraud risk and gives you a control story you can explain to leadership, auditors, and insurers.

Reduce business email compromise and payment reroute attempts. Clarify access, offboarding, and device posture for finance staff and vendors. Prove that systems you manage can be recovered in realistic timeframes.

Your guide for financial IT risk

One partner securing the environment around your financial platforms.

We don’t replace your core banking applications. Instead, we secure the surrounding environment (email, identities, endpoints, and networks) so it’s much harder for attackers to turn a compromised account or device into a financial or reputational loss.

Fraud and disruption usually start before transactions reach your core systems.

Attackers look for the easiest way to influence payments: inboxes, shared mailboxes, weak access, unmanaged devices, and unmonitored sign-ins, not just the financial platforms themselves.

Financial leaders shouldn’t have to gamble on whether an inbox is compromised, an old VPN account is still valid, or a backup for a critical internal system will work.

You should be able to say, “We’ve secured the environment around our financial platforms, and here’s the evidence.”

Common Banking IT Risks

  • Business email compromise used to change vendor banking details or approval flows.
  • Unclear ownership of alerts and logs across multiple IT and security vendors.
  • Former staff or outside firms retaining access longer than anyone realizes.
  • Backups for systems you manage that haven’t been restore-tested end to end.
  • Rising documentation demands from regulators, boards, and carriers.

NTS helps financial teams turn vague IT risk into a clear, defensible plan.

We work with banks, credit unions, and finance departments that carry real accountability for fraud loss, continuity, and audit findings. Your application vendors secure the platforms they provide. NTS focuses on the users, devices, and networks you control.

Our role is to translate technical controls into language and evidence that make sense to CFOs, controllers, treasury, compliance, and underwriters. This insures everyone can see that your environment is being actively managed and improved.

Our team of Senior Engineers

  • Security-first managed and co-managed IT with a focus on money-movement workflows.
  • Optional in-house SOC for 24/7 monitoring, triage, and escalation.
  • Playbooks for inbox takeover, payment reroute attempts, and ransomware.

  • Audit-ready documentation for leadership, regulators, and insurers.

About Us

A simple plan financial leaders can explain in one slide.

You don’t have to rebuild everything at once. We start where you are, stabilize the environment around your financial platforms, and then build a program you can stand behind.

1.
Assess where risk meets money

We review Microsoft 365 posture, inbox compromise risk, who and what can reach systems you manage that support financial workflows, backup and recovery posture, and how alerts are handled today.

2.
Stabilize & strengthen

We implement (or co-implement) the highestvalue protections: Conditional Access and MFA for high-risk users, email security tuning, access cleanup, endpoint and firewall improvements, and restore testing for internal systems your finance team depends on.

3.
Operate & prove

We continue to run, monitor, and refine those controls with you, providing ongoing monitoring, optional SOC coverage, regular access and continuity reviews, and documentation you can hand to executives, auditors, and carriers.

What NTS secures around your financial platforms.

Your core banking, card processing platforms are supported by dedicated vendors. NTS focuses on the environment you manage (email, identities, endpoints, networks, and supporting services) where most fraud and disruption begin.

Microsoft 365 & Email Security for Finance

Lock down Outlook and Microsoft 365 so finance, treasury, AP/AR, and leadership can work efficiently without leaving easy openings for inbox takeover and payment reroute attempts.

  • MFA and Conditional Access tuned for high-risk financial roles.
  • Safe Links / Safe Attachments and phishing defenses aligned with real approval flows.
  • Shared mailbox and delegated access cleanup for AP, treasury, and operations.
  • Retention and mailbox audit logging that support investigations and audits.

Endpoints, Branches & Network Perimeter

Keep the laptops, desktops, and branch network segments your organization manages hardened, monitored, and consistently patched.

  • Endpoint protection and EDR for finance, branch, and back-office devices.
  • Patch and firmware management with documented schedules and reporting.
  • Firewall and VPN management for access into systems you control.
  • Segmentation and secure remote access supporting financial workflows.

Backup, Continuity & Recovery Evidence

Ensure the systems your organization manages (file servers, authentication, shared storage, and other supporting service) can be recovered reliably and within realistic timeframes.

  • Backup design and monitoring for internal systems you own.
  • Timed restore tests that both IT and finance stakeholders can see and understand.
  • Runbooks for common outage and compromise scenarios.
  • Evidence packets for auditors, examiners, and carriers.

Logging, Monitoring & Optional SOC

We turn noisy logs and alerts into actionable intelligence that someone truly owns: complete with optional 24/7 SOC coverage when you want it.

  • Centralized collection of firewall, endpoint, and identity logs.
  • Alert tuning around risky sign-ins and access to sensitive internal systems.
  • Optional NTS SOC for correlation, triage, and escalation.
  • Regular review of notable events with IT and finance leadership.

What life looks like with - and without - the right IT partner

With NTS as your guide

  • You reduce the odds that a single compromised inbox or device leads to a major loss.
  • Leadership can see that access and continuity for systems you manage are under control.
  • Auditors, examiners, and carriers receive clear, organized evidence.
  • Your team has playbooks for inbox compromise, payment reroute attempts, and ransomware.
  • You spend more time on strategy and less time chasing alerts.

If nothing changes

  • Payment instructions can be changed quietly from compromised accounts.
  • Former users and vendors may retain access longer than anyone realizes.
  • Backups for systems you own may fail when you finally need them.
  • Each audit, exam, or renewal turns into a scramble for documentation.
  • A single incident can damage trust with customers, regulators, and your board.
