Infotex

Infotex is a managed security service provider built around a single vertical: community banks and credit unions in the Midwest. Founded in 2000 and based in Lafayette, Indiana, the company runs 24/7 SIEM monitoring, intrusion detection/prevention, and managed detection and response for small financial institutions that cannot justify an in-house security operations center. It is a preferred vendor of the Indiana Bankers Association, which has anchored its customer base among Indiana community banks for two decades, with some expansion into healthcare clients.

The company’s real value proposition is regulatory fluency. Community banks answer to FFIEC examiners, and Infotex’s consulting arm builds its managed services around that reality — IT risk assessments, incident response tabletop testing, vendor management reviews, security awareness training, and policy development are sold alongside the technical monitoring stack rather than as an afterthought. That combination of SOC-as-a-service plus examiner-ready documentation is what keeps small banks renewing rather than building internal teams.

Infotex is privately held (owners Dan and Stacey Hadaway took full ownership in 2012) and has stayed a small, regional operator rather than scaling nationally. That is both its strength and its ceiling: it knows the community-banking compliance cycle cold, but it competes in a market being slowly consolidated as smaller banks merge or get acquired, and it has no significant public profile outside that niche.
