The Reality
Credit unions face the same threats as big banks with a fraction of the resources.
Ransomware groups don't care about asset size. Nation-states target SWIFT access. Your members trust you with everything—and criminals know it.

Why Credit Unions Are Different
Traditional security assumes enterprise resources. Credit unions face enterprise threats with community budgets.

Every connection designed to help members is a door attackers use.
The Credit Union Attack Surface
Cooperative financial services face unique member-focused threats
Active Threat Vector
Member-owned institutions face unique challenges with limited IT budgets and shared cooperative networks. Attackers exploit trust relationships and target smaller CUs as entry points to larger networks. We understand cooperative security. You protect what matters most.
One Test, Every Framework
Your investors require SOC 2. Your banking partners demand PCI DSS. Your enterprise clients need ISO 27001. Every partnership adds another compliance framework to your list
We understand the compliance maze fintechs navigate. Our testing doesn't just find vulnerabilities—it maps them to every framework you need to satisfy. One test, multiple compliance requirements checked.
But here's what matters: we go beyond the checkboxes to find what compliance misses. Because 18.4% of 'A' rated companies still get breached.
Right-Sized Compliance Testing
We test what examiners check—scaled for credit unions.
Credit Union Requirements We Battle-Test:
- NCUA Part 748 - Appendix A & B security program validation
- NCUA Cyber Incident Notification - 72-hour reporting readiness
- FFIEC CAT - Scaled assessments for credit union resources
- BSA/AML - Member monitoring without enterprise tools
- ACH Risk - Third-party processor vulnerabilities
- Wire Transfer Security - Protecting limited fraud budgets
- State Requirements - Multi-state compliance for shared branching
The difference: We understand credit union scale. Same regulatory requirements, right-sized approach.
Compliance without complexity.
