MEMPHIS, Tenn. – September 29, 2026 -– Sawyers & Jacobs, a leading tech and cybersecurity consulting firm to banks, has announced the launch of RiskRaptor™, a comprehensive risk management platform designed to help community banks streamline and manage operational risk and regulatory compliance ranging from vendor management, cybersecurity preparedness and AI use to required risk assessments to meet examiner expectations.
Developed independently by Sawyers & Jacobs and built specifically for community-based financial institutions, RiskRaptor™ combines artificial intelligence with the knowledge and expertise of an established and trusted consulting firm to deliver an intuitive GRC (Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance) solution for managing risk across the organization.
The platform features a FREE FFIEC CAT replacement that adheres to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), a widely adopted standard among financial institutions. Quantitative, color-coded risk scoring and an easy-to-understand dashboard provide a clear view of risk levels. RiskRaptor™ also delivers board-ready reporting that enables management and directors to quickly assess the institution’s overall risk posture and identify top risks.
In addition to its advanced technology and easy-to-navigate interface, RiskRaptor™ includes concierge-level support from experienced consultants who can answer questions, provide expert assistance, and help clients manage audits and examinations.
With the tagline “Talons Out, Risk Seized,” RiskRaptor™ is continuously updated to reflect the latest threats and emerging risks based on the firm’s real-world experience serving financial institutions across the United States. The platform is designed to help institutions meet and exceed regulatory expectations while strengthening risk management programs through technology, expertise, and ongoing operational risk education.
“RiskRaptor™ combines the latest technology with our proven risk assessment models to provide a new, innovative approach to risk management,” said Jimmy Sawyers, Chairman & Co-Founder of Sawyers & Jacobs. “Our clients now have 24/7 access to the RiskRaptor™ portal for on-demand reporting on the most critical risk management issues in banking today.”
“Too many risk management providers sell bankers an empty portal and require the bank to do all the work with no guidance or support,” said Joshua Jacobs, President & Co-Founder of Sawyers & Jacobs. “RiskRaptor™ comes loaded with our proven risk assessment models which have been trusted by bankers and praised by examiners for years, plus we stand by our clients and remain ready to provide sound advice and experienced guidance beyond the portal. We come alongside those completing the risk assessments and let them know they are not alone in this process.”
If you’re ready to simplify yet strengthen your risk management efforts with an innovative solution developed and backed by a trusted firm with nationally recognized experts in tech, cybersecurity, payments, and risk management, then it’s time you get RiskRaptor™!
