Section 748, Appendix A requires that a Credit Union have a formal information security program that insures the security and confidentiality of member records and information; protects against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such records; and protects against unauthorized access to or use of such records or information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any member. Further, Appendix B establishes requirements for the implementation of an incident response program for unauthorized access to member information.

Ewart & Associates, LLC has extensive experience in assisting Credit Unions with putting together a program that meets the requirements of the regulations, as well as conduting penetration and vulnerability assessments to validate the safeguards in place that ensure the security of their information security programs. Our staff includes a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) who is also a CPA.

Business Continuity Planning and Testing is an integral part of ensuring the availabilty of member records and information. As our firm has located in South Florida for 30 years, with clients throughout the state and the Virgin Islands, we have a unique perspective on disaster management as several of our Credit Union clients have been impacted by hurricanes over the years. Our extensive knowledge of Credit Union systems and processes makes us very well suited to helping a Credit Union evaluate the reasonableness of their Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity Plans, as well helping expand them to ensure that they are practical and actionable. We are experts in many of the technologies that make recovering from a disaster easier including systems virtualization and the cloud, VPNs, Voice Over IP and wireless technologies. Whether its a simple external perimeter review, an internal vulnerability assessment analysis, or consulting on putting together a comprehensive business continuity plan, Ewart & Associates, LLC has the knowledge and expertise to help.
