NCUA examiners have said that the ACET is no longer a requirement. They are now recommending that organizations choose an internal framework to align with such as NIST CSF 2.0, CIS, or other! They have stated the new NCUA ISE statements are for them to use as an examination tool and not for credit unions. I would recommend aligning with both an internal framework and the ISE by taking an evidence-based approach so you are prepped for your exam, and meet their requirements!

CMMC compliance is not a simple task. It’s extremely rare for an organization to be compliant by default. The certification process can also be very expensive, so you’ll want to begin the process by setting a budget (across people, processes, and technologies) for CMMC compliance. This will likely depend on the value of current and future DoD contracts to your organization. We have worked with hundreds of #defensecontractors right-size their CMMC strategy. We mention the most impactful time and cost saving strategies in our FREE CMMC Readiness Resource. Download Your Copy Today: https://lnkd.in/e6C4FrS4

Very soon, there are going to be looooong lines for organizations to get their CMMC assessments. How do I know? Because our project funnel at MNS Group is beginning to fill, and other certified C3PAOs are experiencing the same thing. Even if your organization isn’t ready, it’s wise to start shopping around for an assessment partner. Obviously, I’m biased and want you to pick MNS Group. But even if you don’t choose us, get in line somewhere. Sign a contract now, so that you have a guaranteed place in line when the DoD releases the rule. Spots are limited. If you wait until you’re 100% ready, you may be waiting longer than you expect. #CMMC #BestAdvice #cybersecurity #assessment #DoD

🔒 Is Your Website Secure? 🔒 On average, around 30,000 websites are hacked every day globally. Even more concerning is that 43% of these attacks target small businesses. Cybersecurity is a critical concern, and we take it very seriously at FTP. Here are a few of the most targeted kinds of websites: • E-commerce websites: Hackers often exploit vulnerabilities within e-commerce websites, especially those using common coding or shopping cart software. • Small businesses: These often lack the robust security infrastructure of larger enterprises. • News outlets: Frequently targeted for their influence and reach. • Healthcare: Contains sensitive patient data, making it a prime target. • Government: Critical infrastructure and sensitive information are at risk. • Financial services: High-value data and financial transactions make these a top target. • Non-profits: Often have limited resources for cybersecurity. • Online retailers: Similar to e-commerce, these sites handle financial transactions and personal data. Here's how we protect our website and our users: 1. SSL Certificates: We use advanced SSL encryption to ensure that all data transmitted between our servers and your browser is secure. 2. Regular Security Audits: Our team conducts regular security audits to identify and address potential vulnerabilities. 3. Firewall Protection: We employ robust firewall systems to prevent unauthorized access to our network. 4. Compliance: We adhere to industry standards and regulations, including GDPR and CCPA, to ensure your data is handled with the utmost care. 5. Security Updates: We regularly update your software and systems to protect against the latest threats and vulnerabilities. 6. User Awareness: We believe in empowering our users with knowledge. We provide resources and best practices to help you stay secure online. Want to learn more about our security practices?
