Cybersecurity Assessment Software?

"The Tandem Business Continuity Planning software has streamlined how we manage business continuity for our bank. Before Tandem, we lost files and had to update and make changes to a Word document. This software has helped us focus on the important aspects of business continuity and made it easier to update, train, and report to our Board of Directors."

Brandi Shiflett, EVP
Senior Operations Officer

North Dallas Bank & Trust Co in Dallas, TX

"Tandem’s Business Continuity Planning software is a strong program that integrates well with Tandem’s Vendor Management software. It provides good reports for our Board of Directors and Management. It is easy to update, and I am able to access it from anywhere… even on my phone."

Ron Dittmann

Crystal Woodward-Smith
Compliance Officer

Hope Federal Credit Union in Jackson, MS

"First, I want to thank Tandem for being such a great partner of ours. We are extremely grateful for the tools you have provided. Particularly, your BCP program and the employee alert system. As of right now that is our main communication system for most of our employees."

"Tandem is extremely easy to use. I just started in the system (in earnest) and was able to quickly navigate through the steps. It’s very logical, comprehensive and I’m hopeful it will result in easier reports and exams. It’s a phenomenal option for a bank our size."

"Tandem Vendor Management has made the process for collecting and tracking documents a breeze. The Vendor Management system is easy to use, yet quite powerful software. The software has saved us time from old spreadsheets and a manual vendor review process. I would highly recommend any organization to this system."

Kyle Moreland
Compliance Officer

Johnson City Bank in Johnson City, TX

"We started using Tandem for our vendor management program in late 2014. Right from the start we found the software easy to use and perfect for our needs.
