What are bank cybersecurity auditors really looking for?

A thoughtful, repeatable approach to managing risk. Not perfection.

As financial institutions rely on cloud platforms, SaaS applications, managed service providers, and other third parties, audit readiness goes beyond securing the internal network. It requires visibility into where data moves, who can access it, how vendors protect it, and whether risks are evaluated before contracts are signed.

In this Hero Trust podcast conversation, Ben Mitzelfelt of Integrity Technology Solutions speaks with Ben LeClaire, principal of cybersecurity at Plante Moran, about:

• Understanding the full technology environment
• Evaluating vendor and fourth-party risk
• Involving executive leaders, IT, and end users
• Bringing cybersecurity auditors into major technology decisions early
• Addressing weaknesses before they become regulatory concerns

Windows Server 2016 support ends January 12, 2027. If your organization still relies on Windows Server 2016, now is the time to decide what comes next.

The right answer may not be “buy another server.” Depending on the workload, you may want to:

• Move to the cloud for greater alignment with file storage, collaboration, and Microsoft 365
• Choose a hybrid approach to phase the transition and maintain the systems that still need to remain local
• Keep a workload on-prem when a legacy application, local integration, or operational dependency makes that the practical choice

Before investing in new infrastructure, evaluate the workload, dependencies, security requirements, business impact, and long-term direction of your environment.

Our 1-page decision guide can help you determine whether cloud, hybrid, or on-prem is the best fit for your Windows Server 2016 workload:

Should Your Windows Server 2016 Workload Move to the Cloud, Stay On-Prem, or Go Hybrid? Find out when moving your server workload to cloud makes sense, when hybrid is the better move, and when keeping a workload on-prem is still justified.

How To Build A Business Case For Manufacturing IT Projects Without Overcomplicating It

How To Build A Business Case For Manufacturing IT Projects Without Overcomplicating It Meta description: Not every IT provider understands manufacturing realities. Use this guide to compare vendors based on uptime, implementation risk, legacy support, and contract-readiness.

Customer and contract requirements are asking manufacturers one essential question: can you protect customer data, keep production reliable, and prove your controls are in place?

Cybersecurity clauses, supplier questionnaires, audits, and RFPs can feel technical, but the business impact is clear. Misunderstood requirements can delay onboarding, reduce margins, disrupt production, or put contracts at risk.

A practical review starts by identifying what is:
• Required now
• Required later
• Already in place
• In place but undocumented
• Unclear or not applicable

The goal is not to overbuild IT. It is to prioritize the controls that protect uptime, customer trust, revenue, and contract opportunities.

Just because a system is old doesn't mean it needs to be replaced.

Many manufacturers rely on legacy technology every day to keep production moving. The real question isn't how old a system is. It's what happens if it suddenly stops working.

Our latest blog explores when legacy systems become a business risk, the warning signs leadership shouldn't ignore, and how manufacturers can reduce risk without replacing everything at once.

If you're trying to balance production, budgets, and customer expectations, this is a conversation worth having.

Legacy Systems In Manufacturing: When "Still Working" Is No Longer Good Enough Manufacturers often rely on legacy systems long past their prime, but understanding risks and dependencies is crucial for future stability and compliance.

If your manufacturing business is constantly putting off IT upgrades because "everything is still working," you're not alone.

The problem is that many technology issues don't become urgent until they interrupt production, delay shipments, or put a customer contract at risk.

Our latest blog looks at why manufacturers often deprioritize IT, the warning signs that shouldn't be ignored, and how small, planned improvements can help avoid expensive emergencies later.

You'll also learn why questions about technology should start with business impact, not technical features.
