NCUA exam readiness, GLBA and FFIEC compliance, and member-data protection from a 100% Texas-based team

Managed IT and Cybersecurity for Texas Credit Unions

Texas credit unions carry the same regulatory weight as far larger banks, but with leaner teams and tighter budgets. LayerLogix delivers managed IT and cybersecurity built around how credit unions actually operate: core banking platforms like Symitar and Corelation, member-facing digital channels, and the examiner sitting across the table. We harden the systems that hold member data, put controls in place that map cleanly to GLBA, FFIEC, and NCUA guidance, and stand up business continuity that keeps branches serving members through outages. With 20+ years of experience and 100% Texas-based support, we help your credit union pass exams with fewer findings, block wire fraud before it clears, and prove to your board that member trust is protected.

What We Offer

Comprehensive solutions tailored for Houston-area businesses

NCUA and FFIEC Exam Readiness

We prepare your credit union for NCUA examinations and FFIEC IT reviews with organized evidence, current policies, and mapped controls. Our team assembles the documentation examiners ask for, closes gaps before they become findings, and sits alongside your leadership through the process so exam week is routine rather than a fire drill that pulls staff off member service.

Core Banking IT Support

Your core is the heart of the credit union, and downtime or misconfiguration hits every member. We provide adjacent IT support for environments built around platforms like Symitar and Corelation, covering the networks, servers, endpoints, and integrations that surround the core so tellers, back office, and digital channels stay reliable through business hours plus after-hours emergency support.

Member-Data Protection and Encryption

Member records, account numbers, and PII are the assets attackers want most. We protect them with data encryption in transit and at rest, strict access controls, endpoint security, and continuous monitoring. Sensitive systems are segmented from general staff networks so a single compromised device cannot expose your entire member database or trigger a reportable breach.

BEC and Wire-Fraud Defense

Business email compromise and fraudulent wire requests are among the costliest threats to credit unions. We layer email authentication, phishing-resistant controls, dual-approval workflows, and staff awareness so a spoofed member or vendor email does not turn into a six-figure wire. Combine our controls with the BEC and wire-fraud risk calculator to size your exposure.

Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery

Examiners expect a tested continuity plan, and members expect branches to open. We build backup and recovery with defined recovery objectives, off-site and immutable copies, and documented runbooks. We test restores on a schedule so a ransomware hit, hardware failure, or Gulf Coast storm does not take your credit union offline or put your NCUA standing at risk.

Privileged Access and Zero Trust

Most serious breaches abuse over-privileged accounts. We enforce least privilege with privileged access management, multi-factor authentication, and zero trust segmentation so staff and vendors reach only what their role requires. Every privileged action is logged and reviewable, giving examiners clear evidence and giving your credit union a defensible security posture around core and member systems.

Email, wire, and access controls cut the paths attackers use to divert funds, protecting both members and the credit union balance sheet from BEC and wire fraud.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you understand NCUA and FFIEC IT examination requirements?▼

Yes. We build and document controls that map to NCUA guidance and the FFIEC IT examination handbook, including access management, encryption, incident response, vendor management, and business continuity. We assemble the evidence examiners typically request and prepare your team so exam week is organized rather than chaotic. Our goal is fewer findings and a defensible posture you can present confidently to examiners and your board.

Can you support our core banking system?▼

We provide adjacent IT support for the environments around core platforms such as Symitar and Corelation, covering the networks, servers, endpoints, integrations, and security controls that keep the core reliable. We coordinate with your core provider rather than replacing them, so tellers, back office, and digital channels stay available through business hours plus after-hours emergency support. This lets your staff focus on members instead of infrastructure.

How do you protect our credit union from wire fraud and BEC?▼

We layer email authentication, phishing-resistant controls, and continuous monitoring to catch spoofed member and vendor emails, and we help implement dual-approval and callback workflows so no single request moves a wire. We also train staff to recognize social-engineering attempts. Together these controls sharply reduce the odds that a fraudulent email turns into a costly wire. Our BEC and wire-fraud risk calculator helps you size the exposure.

What does managed IT for a credit union typically cost?▼

Most credit unions use a managed model billed per user or per endpoint each month, which covers monitoring, help desk, security tooling, and ongoing management. Market pricing varies with member volume, branch count, and compliance scope, and security-heavy financial environments sit at the higher end of typical ranges. We scope to your actual environment and give you predictable monthly budgeting instead of unpredictable break-fix and emergency remediation costs after an incident.

How do you help with GLBA and the Safeguards Rule?▼

We align your controls with GLBA and the FTC Safeguards Rule, including risk assessment, access controls, encryption, monitoring, and an incident response plan. We help designate accountability, document your information security program, and maintain the evidence that demonstrates compliance. Because credit unions face overlapping GLBA, FFIEC, and NCUA expectations, we map controls once and apply them across frameworks so you are not duplicating effort or spending.

Can you work alongside our existing IT staff?▼

Yes. Many credit unions use a co-managed model where we supplement an internal IT person or small team with security expertise, after-hours coverage, compliance support, and specialized tooling. You keep day-to-day control while gaining the depth of a full team behind you. If you have no internal IT, we can act as your fully outsourced department. We tailor the split to how your credit union already works.

Do you provide Managed IT and Cybersecurity in Houston and nearby areas?▼

Yes. LayerLogix is based in the Greater Houston area and delivers managed it and cybersecurity to businesses across Houston and the surrounding communities, including The Woodlands, Spring, Katy, Sugar Land, Conroe, Cypress, and Pearland.

What does Managed IT and Cybersecurity cost for a Houston business?▼

Pricing depends on your size and what you need, so we do not publish a one-size-fits-all number — but Houston businesses generally pay a flat, predictable monthly fee rather than surprise hourly bills. We start with a free, no-obligation assessment of your current setup, then give you a clear quote in plain English with no hidden costs. That way you know exactly what you are getting and what it costs before you commit.
