MISSION
Our mission is to help community financial institutions survive and thrive by cutting their Compliance Tax™ through the use of cutting edge technology. |
HISTORY
We were founded in 2008 by banking and compliance veterans with decades of first hand experience with regulators and continuity. Since the introduction of Control more than 1000 community financial institution executives have used Control to ask, answer and share, getting compliance work done. |
|
OVERVIEW
Continuity Control is a financial technology company, but much more then a software vendor. Through our unique approach we provide applications to reduce the work of compliance, while insulating your institutions from the cost of regulatory changes through our compliance guarantee. This relationship puts our interests in lockstep with one another. We said unique and with our guarantee, we put our money where our mouth is. |
LEADERSHIP
We’ll put our innovation credentials up against anyone (pardon our bragging). Having changed the information security industry with security-in-the-cloud in the late ‘90s, we’re now tackling compliance. Since we started, we’ve taken the Best Value/ROI at IDC, the OnDemand 100 and recently Finovate where we were called out as one of the 5 most interesting companies in financial services. |
