Credit Unions: IT, Cybersecurity, and Compliance Services

Resilient IT & Cybersecurity, Engineered for Credit Union Audits and Operations

Credit unions operate in a high-stakes environment, balancing distributed IT, regulatory pressure, cybersecurity threats, and the demand for seamless digital services. For over 35 years, Systems Engineering has helped credit unions navigate these challenges with confidence.

We bring uncommon depth to every engagement. As a 100% employee-owned firm with a deep bench of IT, cybersecurity, and compliance experts, we’re built for resilience and long-term partnership. Our teams actively manage Symitar®, CUAnswers, FedLine®, Fiserv®, and more, ensuring secure and optimized performance across your core ecosystem.

Our services are engineered for exam readiness and operational continuity—aligned with NCUA priorities, supported by 24/7 on-call expertise, and grounded in a culture of ownership and accountability.

Smart IT That Powers Productivity—While Meeting Regulatory Demands

At Systems Engineering, compliance isn’t retrofitted; it’s embedded. Our IT and security platforms are purpose-built from the ground up to meet the regulatory expectations credit unions face every day. We understand the need to balance security, efficiency, and compliance without compromising on any of these aspects. That’s why we engineer solutions that enhance productivity, fortify your security posture, and ensure your team can operate seamlessly, while maintaining complete alignment with regulatory standards and earning the trust of your members.

Technology, Compliance, Cybersecurity, and Business Expertise

A Proven Partner Trusted by Credit Unions

From secure SOC 2 Type 2 services to responsive end-user IT support, our managed IT solutions are purpose-built to extend or fully replace constrained in-house IT with deep, dedicated teams and responsive on-call coverage.

Our managed security services are wholly aligned with the NIST CSF to help meet stringent requirements, such as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), NCUA, Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and PCI requirements, ensuring your infrastructure is secure and compliant.

Many of our credit union clients have trusted us for a decade or more, thanks to our reliability, responsiveness, and audit-readiness support.

Co-Managed or Fully Managed IT Services

Depending on your credit union’s needs, Systems Engineering has you covered, handling or assisting with regulatory-heavy requirements, such as vulnerability management and pre-audit preparation. For co-managed organizations, our services give your internal team the bandwidth to elevate their productivity and focus on innovation, transformation, and member experience. For those who require fully managed services, our expert teams integrate seamlessly with your organization, allowing you to focus on your business and members.

Enabling Board Governance

With the NCUA now expecting credit union boards of directors to play an active role in cybersecurity governance, Systems Engineering offers solutions that provide the documentation, metrics, and insight boards need to fulfill this mandate. Because our operations align with NIST-CSF 2.0, driving compliance-based managed services, Systems Engineering simplifies regulatory compliance under NCUA and state agencies, reduces your administrative burden, and enhances compliance posture.

Plan Smarter: Strategic IT Roadmaps That Maximize Your Technology Investment

Strategic IT planning is crucial for maximizing your budget and delivering lasting value. We work with credit unions to develop multi-year technology roadmaps that align with NCUA expectations, prioritize infrastructure upgrades, support digital member services, and ensure compliance readiness. As a result, every investment enhances operational performance and strengthens competitive standing.

Orchestrating Core Application Performance Across the Credit Union Ecosystem

Delivering that value begins with partnering with your critical service providers and core applications, such as Symitar® (formerly Episys®), Jack Henry, Fiserv®, Synergent®, and FedLine®, along with web-based lending applications and teller peripherals, ensuring they perform optimally and securely to enhance member services. We provide secure remote access that credit unions need to access data and applications, ensuring you can work securely and effectively from anywhere.

Resilience by Design: Business Continuity, Security Policies, and Incident Response

Resilience starts with tested continuity plans and enforceable policies. We help credit unions develop and maintain business continuity strategies, information security policies, technology use agreements, and incident response plans that align with regulatory expectations and withstand examiner scrutiny. Our approach ensures your institution stays secure, compliant, and operational, even under pressure.
