Credit Union Compliance Confidence
How One Credit Union Went From Cyber Insurance Cancellation to Zero NCUA Cybersecurity Findings in 90 Days
The step-by-step transformation that eliminated emergency IT calls during member service hours and restored board confidence.
Cyber Insurance Canceled
TorchLight received a phone call from a Credit Union CEO facing a crisis. Their insurance company had just canceled coverage following a failed NCUA audit and ongoing technical issues that disrupted member services. The final straw came when their failing firewall caused operational downtime on a payroll Friday.
The board was asking tough questions, but the CEO had been constrained by limited budget approval. Within 90 days, TorchLight transformed their operations.
- Upgraded their network infrastructure for bulletproof reliability
- Integrated previously ignored M365 licenses into daily business operations, including Teams, Outlook, SharePoint, and OneDrive
- Resolved all outstanding NCUA audit issues
- Restored the Credit Union to an insurable state
