What Are Our Members Saying?
Don’t just take our word for it – see what our Member Credit Unions say about NCU-ISAO below:
“Membership is a great way to ensure that your organization is up to date on the latest threats and new regulatory requirements. Bigger bonus is networking and information sharing with other Credit Unions on the best ways to address your challenges.”
“We’re thankful for our NCU-ISAO membership and see the value it provides. We’ve been alerted to potential fraud that other services have missed. We appreciate that the monthly threat calls are informative and interactive. The Daily Advisory is comprehensive and includes current content and articles on a wide variety of security-related topics.”
“The world of cybersecurity can be scary and overwhelming; it’s ever evolving, and the cyber criminals are always active. Membership with NCU-ISAO helps to ease some of that anxiety by providing a community for credit unions and cyber security professionals to work together to better understand, prepare, and fight what’s out there. The research nerd in me absolutely LOVES the informative meetings, Slack community, resources, and webinars. Credit Unions have the philosophy of “people helping people” and the NCU-ISAO community absolutely embodies that.”
“As a small credit union without a dedicated IT or Cybersecurity department, NCU-ISAO has been a valued resource for Cybersecurity and Fraud information. The membership fee is well worth the investment to gain access to benefits like monitoring of our credit card BIN and employee email domains. NCU-ISAO has given us an opportunity to participate in resiliency exercises, monthly fraud & security groups, and we monitor the daily alerts. The monthly executive briefings are a great way to keep our Board informed without overwhelming them with information.“
“If you work in IT, Risk or Cybersecurity for a CU, you HAVE to be a member of the NCU-ISAO. All the information and services you need in one place, without all the judgement you can get from other financial institution information sharing organizations. You get just the right amount of info to make it valuable, not too much and not too little. Highly recommend being a part of this!”
“NCU-ISAO has become an important component of our Cybersecurity Program. Information shared within this organization is very relative to the credit union community. Information sharing in real time, has allowed us the opportunity to put protections in place before malicious activity affects us. The level of technical details provided by this organization is remarkable. Dark web monitoring provided by NCU-ISAO provides us the ability to protect our membership in ways we could not do before. The benefits far outweigh the costs for our membership.”
“NCU-ISAO provides me with the latest information available and keeps me informed in real time. This is an immensely valuable and critical service for us with the frequency and speed that security changes today. I highly recommend NCU-ISAO membership for credit unions of all sizes.”
“We have been a members of NCU-ISAO for several years now. Being a small credit union under $100M, the membership provides us a lot of value and resources. We take advantage of daily updates on trending cybersecurity news and threats, BIN and domain monitoring, and we’ve been able to participate in a couple tabletop exercises. I highly recommend NCU-ISAO as a cybersecurity resource.”
“We have been a part of the NCU-ISAO for over a year, and it has been a great decision to join. In this time, we have learned a lot about threats to our industry, ideas to mitigate these threats and the ability to discuss them with knowledgeable peers. The information sharing is very insightful and timely. Leadership at the NCU-ISAO is very prompt to respond to inquires and implement ideas to help participating credit unions stay in tune with emerging risks. The NCU-ISAO is here for us and we look forward to this partnership growing even more.”
“NCU-ISAO has given my credit union the information and tools needed to have confidence in our cybersecurity program. No program can be perfect but BIN and domain monitoring, daily updates with useful articles, conferences with actionable information, policy & procedure templates, and peer networking opportunities are some of the benefits that help me sleep better. Credit unions of all sizes and complexities will find something useful from their membership in NCU-ISAO.”
“Having been involved with the NCU-ISAO for a number of years, our membership has undoubtedly benefitted the credit union in many ways. The intelligence gathered regarding data security and fraud activity at peer organizations has helped us proactively prepare for emerging threats to our business. Further, information and experience sharing with peers enhances our level of compliance with regulation as well as our preparedness for audits and annual regulatory visits. Add to this an ability to participate in regular threat calls, annual desktop exercises, and receiving dark web monitoring reports for customer information and one can really appreciate the value of this relationship.”
“As a small-asset credit union, the NCU-ISAO has been an invaluable partner to us. The timely, actionable information they provide cuts through the noise and allows us to enhance the safety, security, and resiliency of our data and our members’ data.”
