NCUA · Credit Union Compliance
Walk into your exam already knowing the answers
We've sat on the credit union's side of the table through examination cycles, running the security program, tracking the findings, and briefing the board. NCUA readiness isn't a checklist we sell; it's work we've lived.

Member-information safeguards and response programs that examiners can trace
vCISO programs, resident engineers, and exam cycles, delivered rather than theorized
The examiner's lens
What NCUA actually looks for
NCUA's Information Security Examination (ISE) procedures and the ACET self-assessment trace back to the same premise: your information security program should be demonstrable: policies approved and dated, risks assessed and owned, incidents reportable within 72 hours, and vendors vetted with evidence on file. Examiners don't grade intentions; they grade artifacts.
Most credit unions don't fail exams for lacking security. They fail for lacking provable security: the control exists, but the policy is stale, the testing is undocumented, or the finding from last cycle is still open. Our programs are built so the evidence accrues continuously, and examination prep becomes printing what already exists.

Operators, not auditors
Plenty of firms will assess you against NCUA guidance. We've been on the inside: running a federal credit union's vulnerability management lifecycle end-to-end, collaborating on SOC alerts and incident response, preparing audit evidence, briefing leadership quarterly, through the fractional vCISO and Resident Engineering models. That means our recommendations come pre-tested against the realities of credit-union staffing, budgets, and examiner expectations.
Your next exam is already on the calendar.
A 45-minute conversation is enough to tell you where you stand against the ISE procedures, and what to fix first.
