History
CUInfoSecurity.com was created as a reference tool. CUInfoSecurity.com strongly believes that education on security issues reinforces the need for maintaining customer data confidentiality and integrity, thus improving the long term security posture of an organization. Because we understand the credit union community, CUInfoSecurity.com was able to establish a medium whose content was personalized and appropriate for the industry.

IT Professionals, Senior Level Management and Credit Union Personnel began to use CUInfoSecurity.com as a dynamic information portal to learn about Regulations, Industry News, Events, and opinions.

Where does the demand for Information stem from?
Over the past five years, more industry regulations have been passed within the banking and financial industry than any other. Information Security Regulations have been created due to issues such as terrorism, identity theft, and Corporate Scandal.

All of these regulations are highly complex and non-compliance to these regulations can cause credit unions and banks to lose business. Institutions like the FDIC, and NCUA can close a bank or credit union due to non-compliance. If a credit union is not keeping up with industry best practice, customers will know it.

All credit unions have included large sums into their yearly budgets to accommodate these regulations as these issues have reshaped the way that credit unions and financial institutions do business.

Credit Unions are often confused by:
- ‘Industry Best Practice’
- What is the rest of the credit union industry doing?
- What is truly necessary to comply with regulations?
- What is really necessary to secure my clientele?

Complexity of Regulation Language
- Regulations span over several departments and mediums (physical security, information security, internal and external exploits) making them increasingly hard to manage
- These regulations are constantly changing and updating to encompass new industry issues and threats
