FFB Review
Very good experience. Helps simplify and manage multiple aspects of my role in the bank.
PROSManagement of ISP is very easy in Trac. Vendor Management is a very large and can be complex project. Trac makes it easy to manage, and present to Examiners and Auditors.
CONSUsed to be slow, but that has been resolved. No real complaints, the software has really matured into a good product.
Vendor Response
We are so excited to hear how TRAC is assisting you with vendor management and also helping you to manage your ISP in general! Equally good to hear the performance issues are cleared up for you. Our development team has worked hard to improve performance and mature the product. It is great feedback to pass along to our internal team. We appreciate you and value your business with us!

Having SBS CyberSecurity's TRAC system makes my job MUCH easier!
Overall, I have saved HOURS of time utilizing TRAC. It allows us to manage our contracts and risk audits so much easier and do more than what the regulators are requiring. This enables us to keep our ducks in a row much easier.
PROSThe useability of TRAC makes my life so much easier. Before choosing TRAC, I tested multiple solutions ranging from cheap to super expensive. Those systems tested were decent, but TRAC was designed in my opinion with the end user in mind. I feel if I would sit down and design a system today, this is how I would have designed it. Since their company also does outside security audits for financial instructions, I feel it keeps TRAC current with what regulators are requiring.
CONSI understand why they offer separate TRAC modules, but I wish they offered better pricing for existing customers. Even better if I use them for my 3rd party security IT audits, it would be nice to be able to purchase TRAC inclusive package for a discounted flat fee.
Reason for choosing TRAC
There are several reasons we chose TRAC over the alternative. We've utilized SBS CyberSecurity for the past 3-4 years for our 3rd party IT Audits. They have done a tremendous job each and every time. They stay on the cutting edge of IT and Security and every single person I've ever spoken with is so nice and helpful. We thought that since they do stay on the cutting edge of what's happening, they would evolve their TRAC product as regulation changes keep it current and functional. They were also the only one to check everything we had on our list of requirements for the TRAC like products we tested.
Vendor Response
Thank you for your kind words! We're grateful you are pleased with TRAC and our service offerings! Our SBS Team is committed to excellence, and hearing how much time this saves you is very appreciated and helps us to know the time and effort the team puts into staying current is of value! We also appreciate your transparency about our pricing and the inclusive package suggestion. We will pass this on to the appropriate team members for consideration. Best, The SBS CyberSecurity Team

End user viewpoint
It gets the job done for my needs.
PROSSolves most of my compliance needs with regulators for vendor management, IT risk assessment. I do not use the other modules as we have other products.
CONSLike all vendors, there are flaws and annoying issues that should be resolved. SBSCyber does resolve most items provided to support. There is an active development in the product(s) and an end user group that meets annually.

SBS Makes Bank Compliance Easier
Overall, we are very happy with TRAC and we've had no issues.
PROSOne stop shop for managing a bank's InfoSec program.
CONSThere's really no major issues. Only wish list items we have is SSO and an option for one login for multiple institutions (helps with holding companies or MSP)
Vendor Response
Thank you so much for your review. Glad to hear we are a one-stop shop for your bank's information security program! SSO functionality is on our roadmap and is actively being worked on now and we are hoping to release this functionality in the first half of 2024. We will reach out to you for a training on the holding companies feature. That feature, pretty new, already exists so happy to help there. Best regards, The SBS CyberSecurity Team

Trac Review
TRAC provides easy to use and up to date tools to help automate and assist an organization in the implementation of their information security program.
PROSTRAC's IT Assets, Vendor, and Business Continuity modules provide a straightforward and consistent method to conduct risk assessments for these activities plus it generates reports and review schedules. You can easily document references and add notes to each item in the modules. The Information Security Program (ISP) module is a customizable tool that generates polices and maintains a review schedule.
CONSI would like to see more customization options for the vendor management module, especially for vendor selection. Vendors provide diverse products and services to banks. Some vendors do not provide services or products that apply to a strict safe guarding regulatory approach to vetting or managing a vendor. For non-bank transaction centric vendors, banks still have needs to manage these vendors which TRAC is capable of handling.
Reason for choosing TRAC
Cost and ease of use along with the feature of the Action Tracking module.

Organization and Reporting
Organization and truly knowing what you have and how each asset or vendor touches your network. Increased your awareness and thus your ability to take action where you see possible vulnerabilities you may not have been aware of before from third parties who do not undergo penetration testing.
PROSI like the reporting features for both board members and auditors. I love having all our vendors in one location and on a schedule for reviews. We like how you can assign an owner who knows the asset best to help you accurately manage.
CONSYou have to buy user licenses just for the owners to come in once a quarter and approve or review their assigned assets. We ended up printing them out and handing to each owner then one person has to enter all their data or changes manually and hit approve on their behalf. Sort of defeats the purpose but saves us a lot of money.
Reason for choosing TRAC
Easier to understand the layout, geared more towards my knowledge learned from attaining my CISM certification.
Vendor Response
Good day, Carolyn, We appreciate your honest feedback and are thankful for your time and your on-going business! I've contacted you privately regarding the user license issue to understand the concern better. We do not do per-user organizational licensing, so you can create additional users as a TRAC administrator. We look forward to clearing up any confusion that may exist!

TRAC Review
My experience with TRAC has been positive. I am able to use the product with ease. If something comes up that I don't know how to do within TRAC or if a function isn't performing properly, I can reach out to our SBS CyberSecurity rep or to customer service and they can either answer my questions immediately or they will research the issue and get back to me.
PROSIt's a product where all information can be stored in a central location. Action tracking, audit reviews, necessary documents can all be stored and tracked within TRAC. It's also helpful with working on different assessments they walk you through the process with potential questions.
CONSCan't really think of anything at this time.
Vendor Response
We are so glad to hear your experience with TRAC has been positive! It is also wonderful to hear that our customer support and your account executive quickly get you the necessary answers. We appreciate you taking the time to review our product and company. Best, The SBS CyberSecurity Team

Risk assessments made easy
I see two main benefits from TRAC. 1) It is way easier than maintaining the spreadsheet based risk assessments we used originally. We didn't know if our examiners were going to agree with our assessments, whether it was the level of risk or the value of mitigations. This way we can rely on an expert opinion for those facts, and save a TON of time on the assessments themselves. 2) It helps us to see where our dollars will have the largest impact. We can use the planned control option to see how much a new logging system might move the needle on risk across the board.
CONSI would like to get raw data out of it, so we can analyze and report on it ourselves without using their tooling. It would also be nice to have a backup of our own.
Vendor Response
Thank you so much for taking the time to review TRAC. It is great to hear TRAC is saving you a TON of time and helps assist you with where to spend your budgeted security dollars and where you will see the most impact. Thanks for being so open with your raw data needs and the backup desire. These comments have been passed on to our product team. Best Regards, The SBS CyberSecurity Team

Information Security Program, Business Continuity Program, Cybersecure Assess, IT Risk Assess
We are using it for vendor management and to build a new Information Security program for our new bank. The support and documents are regulatory focused which ensures we are implementing policies, programs and procedures based guidelines set by our industries' regulatory bodies, which bodes well when the bank is audited and examined by those regulators.
PROSThe solution is fairly intuitive, and the reporting is great when you need to pull data for management or an executive summary. Data in the module feeds into other modules, which is great for building policy and program documents and reduces redundancy of data entry.
CONSNo way to set ticklers for vendor reviews or Action Tracking. Would be great if it could notify whoever's email address is noted when a vendor review is due or when a contract is up for renewal. Also, it would be nice to be able to upload multiple files at once. For example due diligence documents for a vendor. As is you have to upload them one at a time which is tedious.
Vendor Response
Thank you so much for your thoughtful responses and for sharing your ideas for things we can consider for improvement! We are happy you are finding value in TRAC and module integration in addition to reporting and how you use TRAC to assist in preparation for regulatory examinations. Regarding the ticklers for vendor reviews and action tracking. This is a current feature in TRAC under Settings. We'll reach out to you privately with details on this feature. We also have an enhancement request in our development area for uploading multiple files. We appreciate your bringing these items up! Best, The SBS CyberSecurity Team

$250mm Financial Institution
TRAC has been a really useful tool for our Bank. I really like that the risk assessments are all within their own respective area. It has also assisted us with rewriting policies and continuing to be up-to-date on changes with the use of TRAC's templates. We utilize a consultant, and that has been very beneficial for the first few years in getting everything set-up and to understand what we were doing.
CONSTRAC sometimes does not have a logical solution, but customer support is always there to assist and submit recommendations to the developers. The only other thing I can say that I don't like is that it is not consistent throughout the different modules. An example would be that some pages you have to click to save and others automatically save. This can easily be forgotten and work not saved. That is pretty minor when looking at the overall product and what we have gotten out of it though.
Vendor Response
We are so glad to hear you find TRAC and our consulting resource to be a valuable tool/resource for your institution. We will pass along your concerns regarding the consistency of autosaving across modules to our development team for consideration. I appreciate your willingness to respond and your transparency. It is much appreciated. Best, The SBS CyberSecurity Team

SBS & Trac is a great place to start ISP.
Trac has been a life saver for me in setting up and maintaining my ISP. Also great for audits and project tracking from any area. SBS does great with qtrly fun educational meetings to share and expand knowledge of the product.
PROSSBS and Trac is a great place to begin your Information Security Program (ISP). Their system makes it possible to build a cohesive program. The rating is easy and customizable but also the heavy lifting of risk and rating has been pre-entered to help get you started and keep evolving. Examiners love it - since easy to follow.
CONSIf not admin; some users find it difficult to use. Not intuitive to not IT brains? Really need to watch the permissions to be sure they have read only on what they need. Permissions are a bit confusing in the implementation. Realize cost is needed but wish bigger discount for other products so could use more together. Can't get approval to add on more modules due to cost.

PROSI appreciate all of the integrated modules in the TRAC system. We started with one of the modules and recently added two more! It is easy to get started, each module follows the same concepts, so the learning curve is short when adding more features. Once we have everything entered in the new system, we may be adding more!
