MSC Security Announces Partnership with the
African-American Credit Union Coalition

Offering Free Cybersecurity Assessments through January 31, 2025

Walnut Creek, CA – MSC Security, a leading provider of cybersecurity consulting and managed IT services, is excited to announce an industry partnership with the African-American Credit Union Coalition (AACUC). As part of this initiative, MSC Security is committed to bolstering the cybersecurity resilience of these financial institutions by offering complimentary cybersecurity assessments through January 31, 2025.

MSC Security is a minority-owned cybersecurity consulting firm dedicated to delivering comprehensive, innovative security and IT solutions to organizations across various industries. With a strong commitment to supporting the AACUC, MSC Security provides essential protection and compliance services tailored to the unique needs of each client.

“AACUC is committed to elevating Black-owned businesses within the credit union community,” said AACUC President/CEO Renée Sattiewhite. “With all the threats facing credit unions – cybersecurity being chief among them – we look forward to opportunities to build more resilient credit unions, particularly our small credit unions, by partnering with MSC Security.”

This industry partnership aims to address the unique security challenges faced by credit unions by providing tailored cybersecurity assessments that will help identify and mitigate vulnerabilities. With cyber threats increasing in frequency and sophistication, the initiative underscores MSC Security’s dedication to fostering financial stability and security within the credit union community.

“Cybersecurity is essential for any financial institution, and credit unions are no exception. Our goal is to ensure these institutions have access to high-quality, proactive cybersecurity support,” said Marquis Carroll, Chief Executive Officer at MSC Security. “By offering these assessments free of charge, we hope to provide a valuable resource to credit unions that may lack the necessary cybersecurity infrastructure and help them protect their members’ data.”

Through this initiative, credit unions that are members of the AACUC will gain insights into their current cybersecurity posture, identify areas for improvement, and receive actionable recommendations to enhance their security measures. This assessment will give credit unions a clear picture of their current cybersecurity posture, helping them pinpoint vulnerabilities and prioritize areas for improvement. By addressing potential risks early, credit unions can better protect their members’ personal and financial information, ensure regulatory compliance, and build lasting trust within their communities. Our goal is to empower these institutions with the knowledge and tools they need to safeguard their operations against today’s evolving cyber threats.

Credit unions interested in taking advantage of this offer can fill out this form (click here) to schedule their free assessment. Members must sign up for the assessments before January 31, 2025.
