Digital Transformation

Where Mission meets Future Expectations.

Digital Transformation

For CDFIs, technology should be leveraged for growth and to provide confidence. As a growth tool, technology can be leveraged to streamline processes to achieve greater productivity at programmatic and operational levels. For any new software, it must be adopted in a manner that fits the organization’s workflow and human capital. A corollary of new technology is that ot can attract more modern, flexible staff ready to take on community development work with new tools.

CDFIs play a crucial role in providing financial services to underserved communities and it is important for them to be aware of the threats to their financial data and integrity. Our cybersecurity solutions are designed to meet regulatory requirements but exceed them, ensuring the utmost level of security and trust.

Our Approach

  • Adopting new software is more than just a technical shift—it's a strategic move that can transform how effectively you operate and serve your communities.

    We are able to guide your organization through creating the requirements, selecting the right vendor, ensuring a collaborative deployment process. We also coordinate staff training to guarantee optimal use of technology for your programs and operational needs.

  • Your technology infrastructure including your existing and future software represents a significant risk of your organization’s financial data and integrity.

    Investing in robust cybersecurity measures, employee training, and regular audits and assessments can significantly reduce the cybersecurity risk profile of a CDFI, ensuring that they can continue to serve their communities effectively and securely.

    1. Change Control Review and Enterprise Change Request. We sit down with you and your team to hash out new technology changes your organization is considering. Whether it’s the stakeholders, Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), and Technology Managers, we make sure everyone’s on the same page to streamline change requests, ensuring seamless transitions while adhering to industry standards and regulations.

    2. Direct Configuration Management (CM). Recognizing and documenting crucial configuration items is fundamental to prevent risk-gaps and bolster security. We help you identify these elements to ensure a strong foundation. We delve into the parameter settings to spot potential risks, offering solutions to mitigate these threats, ensuring a tight security environment. We set up a structured process to handle changes efficiently and run thorough checks to ensure every change is spot-on and beefs up your defense against cyber threats.

    3. Customized Incident Response Plans. Crafting tailor-made incident response plans that align with the unique structure and operations of your CDFI. No two CDFIs are the same, and neither should their incident response strategies be. We don’t jump in. We conduct a thorough risk assessment to identify potential vulnerabilities and developing strategies to mitigate risks before they escalate. If they do, we have continuous monitoring systems to detect and respond to potential incidents promptly, providing round-the-clock protection.
