A DAY IN FINANCIAL SERVICES
Same day. Different ending.
Showing the day without Cyber6.
- 9:20 AM. Without Cyber6: An email from "the CEO" asks accounting to send a wire today. With Cyber6: The request is verified by phone using a known number, and the fake email is flagged.
- 1:00 PM. Without Cyber6: An examiner asks for evidence of your security program, and it's spread across folders. With Cyber6: The evidence is organized and matched to each requirement.
- 6:45 PM. Without Cyber6: A member sends a loan question after hours. With Cyber6: They get a reply and a way to book time.
Example day. Not client data.

Business email compromise and wire fraud
Prevent email and wire fraud
Email filtering catches fake senders and look-alike domains, and your team practices spotting scams. A simple rule, verifying every payment change by phone, stops most wire fraud.

No. Federally insured credit unions follow NCUA Part 748. The FTC Safeguards Rule covers non-bank financial businesses like tax preparers, mortgage brokers, and auto dealers.
We help organize your security program and evidence against the information security exam procedures examiners use. The examiners make the final call.
Yes. Paid tax preparers need a written information security plan (WISP) under the FTC Safeguards Rule. We help you write it and put it into practice.
A few habits stop most of it: verify every payment change by phone using a number you already have, filter email for impersonation, and train staff to spot the signs.
