“Each year since 2008, Bank News Media has invited banking professionals through its Innovative Solutions Awards to collectively recognize vendors whose products and services help them better serve their customers,” said Bill Poquette, editor-in-chief of BankNews magazine. “Participation has grown each year as bank management teams have welcomed the opportunity to help identify key innovators in the realm of financial services technology. Their votes are a powerful endorsement of these Safe Systems solutions.”

With NetComply One, Safe Systems consolidates all essential IT components into an innovative, powerful and customer-centric network management software. NetComply One eliminates the need for banks to directly administer challenging and time consuming IT tasks internally by constantly monitoring and sending alerts on hardware failures, back-up failures, software updates, PC issues, servers, routers, switches and more. The service allows community banks to focus their time and resources on revenue-generating activities, while providing superior service to their customers.

In addition, Safe Systems’ Cybersecurity RADAR product was developed to help community banks better meet FFIEC requirements and to be able to demonstrate cybersecurity preparedness. The solution combines compliance expertise with an Enhanced Cybersecurity Assessment Tool (ECAT) application to help document notes for examiners, create reports and maintain an up to date record of the assessment.

“Today’s bankers wear many hats, and managing IT networks and compliance for an entire institution can be a challenging task,” said Darren Bridges, president at Safe Systems. “To help community banks’ operate efficiently, securely and compliantly, we work to provide outstanding technology and compliance solutions along with superior support, education and expert consultation to ensure our customers achieve success.”
