What Does GLBA Compliance Require?

All federally insured credit unions must maintain a written, risk-based information security program under:

  • Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA §501(b))

  • NCUA Part 748.0 and 748.1 (Security Program and Catastrophic Event Notification)

  • 748, Appendix A & B (Guidelines for Safeguarding Member Information & Response Programs)

To comply, credit unions must implement a program that includes:

  • Assigning a Security Officer (or Qualified Individual)

  • Performing written risk assessments of systems and practices

  • Enforcing multi-factor authentication, encryption, and access controls

  • Conducting vulnerability scans and penetration tests

  • Training staff annually on cybersecurity best practices

  • Maintaining a written incident response plan (IRP)

  • Reporting program updates to senior management and the board

Office Heroes maps every requirement to real, managed tools — all documented in a compliance system built specifically for credit union operations.

NCUA Part 748 outlines the federally mandated security and response program requirements for credit unions. It incorporates the GLBA Safeguards Rule and requires credit unions to protect member information through administrative, technical, and physical safeguards. Office Heroes helps you meet these requirements with documented controls, training, and reporting.

Yes. Under both GLBA and NCUA Part 748.1(c), credit unions must designate a person responsible for overseeing the information security program. Office Heroes provides support materials, role-based task lists, and even automated QI reporting dashboards to help fulfill this requirement.

Without a Written Information Security Program (WISP) or Incident Response Plan (IRP), your credit union may be out of compliance with federal regulations. Examiners will expect to see these documents. Office Heroes delivers both — prebuilt, customizable, and maintained in our compliance platform.

NCUA recommends regular risk assessments and at least annual vulnerability testing. Our solution includes semiannual scans, annual pen testing, and risk register updates — all with guided remediation planning.

Yes — but it must be configured properly. Office Heroes secures your Microsoft 365 environment with MFA, Entra ID access controls, Intune policy enforcement, and data loss prevention (DLP) — all mapped to GLBA and FFIEC expectations.

That’s exactly who we serve. Office Heroes acts as your virtual compliance partner, providing the tools, documentation, training, and oversight your internal or outsourced IT team may lack — without adding complexity.

Absolutely. Our services and documentation align directly with NCUA 748.0/748.1, GLBA, and FFIEC CAT guidance. Whether your examiner is from NCUA or a state agency, our system prepares you for a successful review.

Most credit unions are audit-ready in 30 to 60 days. We move quickly, prioritize high-risk areas first, and provide onboarding checklists to make the process simple for your team.
