Case Study: First National Bank and Trust of Beloit achieves OCC audit readiness in one hour with Netwrix Auditor

First National Bank and Trust of Beloit Gets Ready for OCC Audit in Just One Hour, instead of One Week

First National Bank and Trust of Beloit is a family-run bank with 17 branches and $1.1B in assets that needed to tighten IT controls to meet OCC requirements. With a nine-person IT team supporting 300 users across multiple locations, the bank faced inefficient manual processes for monitoring user activity, compiling reports and formalizing reviews—gaps that could trigger fines or reputational damage during audits.

FNBT implemented Netwrix Auditor as a unified monitoring and reporting platform, consolidating data from multiple systems into one place. The tool cut audit preparation from a week to about an hour, reduced routine report review to 15 minutes, enabled rapid root-cause investigations (for example, spotting AD changes within minutes), and delivered centralized control, validated security policies and lower risk of downtime.
