Case Study: The Equitable Bank achieves robust IT risk management and regulatory compliance with Qualys Express (Qualys)

The Equitable Bank - Customer Case Study

The Equitable Bank, a Milwaukee-based community bank with $20M in annual revenue and seven locations, was facing growing IT risks and escalating regulatory mandates as it expanded. With regulators requiring regular penetration tests and detailed vulnerability assessments, the bank needed a cost-effective, easy-to-use way to manage vulnerabilities, demonstrate compliance, and protect customer data.

The bank deployed Qualys Express and Qualys Vulnerability Management to automate discovery, accurate scanning, prioritization, and remediation workflows. The solution’s extensive vulnerability knowledgebase, automated ticketing, and remediation guidance helped the small IT team quickly identify and fix high‑risk issues, maintain secure server builds, and reduce the burden of regulatory compliance.
