Increase your Credit Unions Cyber Security Posture with Secora Consulting

Secora Consulting are delighted to be exhibiting at this year’s CUMA Spring Conference and AGM 2022.

The event titled “Changing Landscapes”, will run from the 6th to 7th of April in the Hodson Bay Hotel, Athlone.

We welcome you to visit our team at Stand 24 to learn more about our services and how we can help you align to the Central Banks IT security expectations.

In advance of the conference, we have put together our most popular services used by Credit Unions throughout Ireland.

1. Cyber Security Framework for Credit Unions

Secora Consulting have designed a robust, highly tailored independent third party verification framework from the ground up to enable all credit unions to align with the Central Bank's IT security expectations.

Our framework is tailored to your Credit Union, with the development of the policies and processes you need at its core.

Our approach is based around a trusted methodology where each step is entirely repeatable.

We highlight any security flaws or failings we may uncover along the way and explain how these would impact your business operations and finances. This will allow your Credit Union to continuously improve its cyber security posture as you grow while maintaining compliance with the Central Bank’s IT security expectations.

2. Baseline Assessment for Credit Unions

Baseline assessments focus on quickly improving your network, systems and applications in-line with best practice by helping you build processes and policies.

Our baseline testing service allows you to evaluate your network, systems and applications by identifying issues such as missing patches, out-of-date software and highlighting known issues which affect your software.

Our goal is to provide your Credit Union with information regarding the issues currently affecting your systems. Our approach is based around a trusted methodology where each step is entirely repeatable.

We highlight any security flaws or failings we may uncover along the way and explain how these would impact your business operations and finances.

Baseline assessments allow you to be proactive in resolving any issues minimising risk and helping you build a defence-in-depth approach and improve any existing security controls.

3. Penetration Testing for Credit Unions

While baseline testing focuses on finding trivial issues and easy ways to quickly improve your network, penetration testing focuses on identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities in your network and applications to help tighten your security controls and improve your posture.

Our penetration testing service allows you to evaluate the current position of your network and applications by assessing the impact an attack could have on your business.

Our approach is based around a trusted methodology where each step is entirely repeatable, detailing how an attacker would compromise your network and applications.

Undertaking penetration testing allows you to be proactive in resolving any issues minimising risk and reducing the overall impact a breach would have. The outcome will provide accurate insight into areas of improvement to help close the gaps in your security controls.

4. Cyber Hygiene Assessments for Credit Unions

Our Cyber Hygiene Assessment has been designed for businesses who want to gain an insight into weaknesses in their current security posture which may leave them vulnerable to the most common cyber-attacks.

To do this, we assess three main components which are People, Processes and Technologies.

The output of the assessment will provide any relevant findings along with practical recommendations that can be implemented to decrease the likelihood of your Credit Union falling victim to a cyber attack.
