DefenseStorm is the only unified cyber risk platform built exclusively for U.S. credit unions. Not retrofitted. Purpose-built for NCUA, FFIEC, and GLBA from day one. 10,000+ mapped controls. 200+ FI customers.
MDR, cyber risk, and governance in one platform, so your lean team stops swivel-chairing across five consoles. DefenseStorm clients save an average of $170K/year from tool consolidation. One platform. One vendor. One view of your risk posture.
CTS Ops, our Collaborative SOC of banking-focused analysts, understands NCUA examiner expectations. They engage within 90 seconds on critical cases and maintain a mean time to detect under 15 minutes with 95%+ SLA compliance. For credit unions without dedicated security staff, CTS Ops provides the expertise that would require 3-5 full-time hires to build in-house. Available as 24x7x365 or After-Hours coverage.
DefenseStorm automates the evidence and control documentation that NCUA and state examiners expect. Over 91% of detection triggers auto-align to mapped controls. Institutions using DefenseStorm reduced risk scores by 38% in 12 months with 47% fewer control failures year-over-year. 138+ exam-ready artifacts generated monthly, saving 20+ hours of manual prep.
DefenseStorm's anchor solution. SIEM, EDR, and 24x7 Collaborative SOC built for credit unions. Powered by GRID Active, our intelligent data engine that ingests 5M+ events per credit union per day and surfaces the ones that matter. Your CTS Ops team triages every alert in the context of NCUA expectations, so your IT team sees actionable findings, not noise.
