Security Program

Develop a security program covering the following areas:

• Protecting each credit union office from robberies, burglaries, larcenies, and embezzlement;

• Ensuring the security and confidentiality of member records (hardcopy and electronic records); and

• Preventing the destruction of vital records.

As appropriate, the security policy needs to address the requirements and guidelines of NCUA’s regulations part 748, Appendix A, Guidelines for Safeguarding Member Information; part 748, Appendix B, Guidance on Response Programs for Unauthorized Access to Member Information and Member Notice; and part 749, Records Preservation Program. Letter to Credit Unions 06-CU-07, IT Security Compliance Guide for Credit Unions also provides guidance on developing a security program.
