Protect the trust.
Keep the mission moving.

Your institution runs on trust, availability, and clear accountability. 228NetOps brings hands-on IT expertise to audit support, risk management, security testing, and recovery planning—so your team can turn findings into action. We work within the frameworks your examiners already expect, including GLBA safeguarding requirements, FFIEC IT examination guidance, and NCUA expectations for credit unions.

Discuss your institution’s needs
01 / ASSESS

IT audit support & exam preparation

Bring order to technical evidence, control documentation, and open findings. We help your team explain how systems are managed and follow through on the improvements identified during a review.

Scope & deliverables
  • Review access, configurations, operational procedures, and available control evidence.
  • Organize document requests and map findings to an owner, priority, and next step.
  • Prepare a findings summary and remediation tracker for management review.

We define the role of audit support and any independent assurance work before the engagement begins.

02 / PRIORITIZE

Risk assessments & policy development

Make security decisions with a clear view of what matters to your institution. Connect systems, information, threats, and existing safeguards to practical priorities and policies your team can use.

Scope & deliverables
  • Document assets, business impact, existing controls, and remaining risk.
  • Develop or update security, access, acceptable-use, and related IT policies.
  • Deliver a risk register, policy revisions, and a proposed review schedule.

Your leadership retains responsibility for policy approval and risk acceptance.

03 / VALIDATE

Vulnerability assessments & penetration testing

Find weaknesses and understand their practical impact. Vulnerability assessments identify potential exposures; penetration testing validates selected attack paths within an explicitly authorized scope.

Scope & deliverables
  • Agree on internal and external targets, testing windows, exclusions, and stop conditions.
  • Assess exposed services, patching, configuration, and access weaknesses.
  • Report evidence, business impact, prioritized fixes, and agreed retesting results.

Testing begins only after written authorization and coordination with the owners of affected systems.

04 / EQUIP

Security awareness & social engineering

Help staff recognize suspicious requests and respond confidently. Training and authorized exercises connect everyday decisions to the protection of customer information and business operations.

Scope & deliverables
  • Tailor staff and leadership sessions to phishing, impersonation, account security, and reporting.
  • Define the audience and rules for agreed social-engineering exercises.
  • Document participation, exercise observations, and targeted follow-up training.

The goal is a stronger reporting culture and useful feedback for your team.

05 / RECOVER

Business continuity & disaster recovery

A Gulf Coast storm, provider outage, or security incident can interrupt more than a server. Build plans around the people, vendors, communications, and systems that keep essential services operating.

Scope & deliverables
  • Identify critical functions, dependencies, business impact, and recovery priorities.
  • Document continuity procedures, technical recovery steps, contacts, and escalation paths.
  • Plan recovery exercises and record restore results, gaps, and corrective actions.

Recovery time and data-loss objectives are agreed with your business owners and tested against the scoped systems.

06 / REHEARSE

Tabletop exercises & incident readiness

Work through difficult decisions before disruption hits. Guided scenarios help your team practice escalation, coordination, communications, and recovery with everyone clear on their role.

Scope & deliverables
  • Select a realistic scenario, such as ransomware, hurricane disruption, or a critical vendor outage.
  • Walk through response decisions with the relevant technical and business teams.
  • Deliver an after-action report with observations, assigned improvements, and follow-up dates.
The systems behind the service

Secure infrastructure. Clear website findings.

Pair your assessment work with firewall and network improvements, server support, backup planning, and access controls. Website reviews can cover technical security, forms and data handling, accessibility observations, and content checks against criteria agreed with your compliance team.

Website findings identify issues for the appropriate technical, compliance, or legal owner; they do not certify legal compliance.

Scope a review
Clear scope. Useful evidence. Accountable follow-through.

Know what you’re getting before work begins.

Start with your institution’s priorities, existing providers, and upcoming review dates. We agree on deliverables, responsibilities, timing, and pricing in writing.

  1. Define the missionConfirm systems, locations, business priorities, access, and the people who need to be involved.
  2. Do the workCoordinate interviews, evidence review, or authorized testing around your operations.
  3. Make findings usableReceive the agreed reports and a prioritized action plan your leaders and technical team can discuss.
  4. Close the loopAgree on remediation support, retesting, and the next review to keep progress visible.

Questions before we start?

Can you work with our existing IT provider or auditor?

Yes. We define responsibilities with your team and coordinate access, evidence, and remediation with the providers you authorize. Where independent assurance is needed, the engagement must preserve the required separation from implementation work.

How are banking engagements priced?

We provide a scoped quote based on your environment, locations, testing depth, documentation, and follow-up needs. The standard support rates below are separate from a custom assessment or testing engagement.

What should we share in the first conversation?

Your goals, approximate environment size, existing providers, and target dates are a useful starting point. Use the consultation form for a brief overview; we will arrange an appropriate channel for sensitive documents.
