Case Study: Forward Financial Bank achieves hassle-free secure remote access and stronger client data protection with CensorNet MFA

Forward Financial Bank - Customer Case Study

Forward Financial Bank, a community-focused bank founded in 1919, needed a way to secure sensitive client financial data while enabling employees to work remotely without burdening IT. After rejecting costly, token-based systems, the bank — on the recommendation of RMM Solutions — selected CensorNet’s Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) solution to meet this challenge.

CensorNet implemented its MFA quickly and with minimal IT overhead, replacing hardware tokens and eliminating ongoing management headaches. The result, according to CIO Philip Venzke, is a hassle-free, phone-based authentication process that lets staff work from home securely, improves work–life balance, and keeps the bank proactively aligned with FFIEC security expectations.
