Cybersecurity for Credit Unions

Member funds & data

Account details, SSNs, and payment access convert straight to fraud and theft.

Member trust

A breach erodes the community relationships that make a credit union what it is.

NCUA scrutiny

Part 748, the 72-hour rule, and ISE exams put your program under real examination.

Uptime matters

Members expect 24/7 access. An outage is a community event, not an IT ticket.

Lean teams + tool sprawl

Attackers bet a one- or two-person IT team will detect late and respond slowly.

MSP ≠ cybersecurity

Many credit unions believe their MSP has security covered. Most MSPs aren't staffed to deliver an expert-driven 24/7 security operations center (SOC).

NCUA proof burden

Protecting member data is only half the job. Examiners want a written program mapped to a framework, with evidence you can produce on demand.

The 72-hour clock

You must notify NCUA within 72 hours of a reportable incident — including one that starts with a third-party vendor. That requires real detection and forensics.

Vendor sprawl & cost

A SIEM here, an EDR there, a training tool, a scanner — pieced together across platforms, driving up cost, complexity, and the gaps between them.

Alert & vulnerability overload

Too much noise for a small team means slow triage, delayed patching, and recurring exam findings.

No security team to hire

A 24/7 SOC and a compliance program are out of reach to staff internally at credit union scale — but the risk is enterprise-grade.

Signals In

Ingest endpoint, identity, and network telemetry across your environment.

Analyze

Apply analytics to qualify activity and catch compromise before it becomes noise.

Triage

Our autonomous vSOC filters the noise and confirms what's real.

Investigate

Determine impact and next steps, documenting findings clearly.

Respond

We lead response and assign precise remediation to your IT team or MSP.

Track to Closure

Confirm progress and document outcomes so issues don't linger.

Improve Resiliency

Harden what matters most so the same issue doesn't repeat.

Log Management

Collect, retain, and make logs searchable for investigation and NCUA exam evidence — with a one-year archive.

Incident Response

24/7 coverage, coordinated execution, and documented outcomes — ready for the 72-hour notification clock.

Vulnerability Management

Prioritize what matters, drive remediation at a manageable pace, and verify closure.

Security Awareness

Reduce human-driven risk with measurable training and phishing simulations informed by real threats.

Managed Detection
and Response

24/7 monitoring, threat hunting, and end-to-end incident response.

Advanced endpoint protection, expert threat hunting, and 24/7 incident response keep your credit union safe from ransomware, account takeover, and financial fraud — and put you in position to meet the NCUA 72-hour notification rule with confidence.

Endpoints and servers protected
Evasive & embedded threats stopped
24/7 security operations has your back

MDR: Endpoint

MDR: Endpoint is the foundation of our MDR offering. We deploy, optimize, and maintain leading EDR technologies (for example, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and Microsoft Defender) across your laptops, workstations, and server infrastructure. We deploy custom detection analytics to spot threats out-of-the box EDR miss.

MDR: Identity

With MDR: Identity, we ingest and analyze data from Identity and user activity data sources like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. We monitor authentication activity, access to sensitive data and files, and email behavior to detect account takeover, inbox compromise, and data exfiltration.

MDR: Network

MDR: Network collects alarms and threat data from physical, wireless and cloud network infrastructure. We correlate this with endpoint and identity telemetry to fully investigate suspicious behavior and provide defense‑in‑depth coverage.

How RADICL Detects and Responds

Below is a closer look at our Managed Detection and Response (MDR) operations. This is how we turn signals into 24/7 investigations, containment, and tracked remediation.

Managed Attack Surface

Vulnerability management that shrinks your exposure.

Threat actors leverage vulnerabilities to get a foot in the door. Our Managed Attack Surface offering persistently reduces your exposure so your credit union becomes a much harder target for both opportunistic and targeted attacks.

Managed Security Awareness

Turn your staff into a strong human line of defense.

People are too often the weak link. We shore up your human line of defense with security awareness content, exercises, and phishing simulations informed by the real threats our vSOC sees every day — reducing the human-driven risk behind most incidents.

Comprehensive annual training
Phishing attack simulations
Security-awareness posture visibility
Ongoing "bite-sized" training
Ever-evolving expert content
Member-facing fraud-awareness ready

Operational transparency is a core value. You'll know exactly what we're doing to keep your credit union secure and compliant — because through transparency comes accountability and trust, the same values credit unions are built on.

Your Protection Delivered dashboard gives credit union leadership and your board real-time visibility into how RADICL is defending members every day — the proof points you can bring straight into a board meeting or an NCUA exam.

Ensuring and driving compliance adherence

Every federally insured credit union must maintain a written information security program under NCUA Part 748 (which implements the GLBA Safeguards requirements), and since September 2023 must notify the NCUA within 72 hours of reasonably believing a reportable cyber incident has occurred — including incidents that originate with a third-party vendor. The NCUA's Information Security Examination (ISE) program tests your controls and evidence, and with the FFIEC Cybersecurity Assessment Tool retired, examiners increasingly expect programs mapped to a recognized framework like NIST CSF 2.0. RADICL drives that program and maintains the evidence you need.

Not one you build yourself. Standing up 24/7 security operations internally requires staffing, tooling, and ongoing investment that's out of reach for most credit unions, especially those with a one- or two-person IT team. RADICL's vSOC model gives you the same round-the-clock detection, triage, and response leadership you'd get from an internal SOC, without the overhead or expense of building and running one.

Your MSP keeps you running; that's essential, but different from cybersecurity. Most MSPs aren't staffed to run a 24/7 SOC, hunt for evasive threats, or drive a compliance program against NCUA expectations. RADICL overlays managed security and compliance on top of your MSP, handles the specialized work, and hands off precise remediation tasks — so you keep the partner you trust while closing the gap they weren't built to cover.

Piecing together a SIEM, EDR, vulnerability scanner, and training platform from different vendors drives up cost and complexity — and creates gaps between tools that no one owns. RADICL delivers detection and response, log analytics, vulnerability management, security awareness, and compliance as one integrated Cybersecurity-as-a-Service, operated by one team through one platform. Strong cybersecurity, simplified.

RADICL owns incident response end to end — triage, investigation, mitigation, and recovery — and our Managed Log Analytics gives you the searchable, retained evidence to scope and document an incident quickly. That means when the clock starts, you can determine what happened, contain it, and produce the documentation to notify the NCUA inside the window.

You get current, audit-ready evidence: a NIST CSF-aligned program with captured notes and screenshots, centralized log evidence with a one-year archive, verified vulnerability remediation, and documented incident-response outcomes — all consolidated in-platform. Instead of scrambling before an exam or a board meeting, the proof is maintained continuously and available on demand, including a real-time posture dashboard your directors can read.

Because we're not starting from scratch — no hiring, no tool procurement, no lengthy custom build — most credit unions can have core telemetry ingestion, monitoring, and evidence workflows operational in weeks, not months, with a phased approach available as you expand coverage.

Credit unions are the financial foundation of their communities
