Built for examiners

Pass the exam. Stay passed.

Financial services cybersecurity is exam-driven. Our managed services produce the documentation, the audit trails, and the operational evidence your examiner expects — across NCUA, GLBA Safeguards, FFIEC CAT, and (for advisors) SEC cybersecurity rule alignment.

  • How does this satisfy NCUA cyber-incident notification?

    NCUA requires reportable cyber incidents to be notified within 72 hours. We embed that workflow directly into our IR playbook — when a customer confirms a reportable incident, the timeline, the form, and the supporting evidence pack are ready. No scrambling.

  • What about the GLBA Safeguards Rule?

    The 2023 Safeguards Rule update brought consumer-financial institutions under tighter requirements: encryption, MFA, periodic risk assessments, written incident response plans, qualified individual designation, and board reporting. We deliver against every operational requirement and produce the documentation board members and examiners want to see.

  • Do you map to FFIEC CAT?

    Yes. We use the FFIEC Cybersecurity Assessment Tool (CAT) baseline as a common control framework for community banks and credit unions, scored across the five CAT domains. Annual reassessment is part of the engagement.

  • Can you handle our examiners?

    We support exam prep, evidence assembly, and post-exam remediation. We do not represent you in the exam — your board and management own that conversation — but we make sure the technical findings come back clean.

  • What about wire fraud / BEC controls?

    Wire fraud and BEC are existential risks for financial services. We harden M365 against the typical attacker playbook (legacy auth disabled, Conditional Access enforced, mailbox auto-forward blocked, anomalous-sign-in alerts live), pair it with a phishing-resistant identity model, and deliver awareness training tuned to financial-services scenarios.
