What the Results Reveal

  • Scores span 60% down to 38% — 0 of 6 reach a Good (70%+) posture.
  • 4 of 6 scored below 60%, leaving stakeholders exposed to phishing and impersonation.
  • Weak authentication undermines compliance expectations and increases BEC and wire-fraud risk.

Why This Matters in Alaska

Alaska credit unions are bound by the GLBA Safeguards Rule, FFIEC guidance, and NCUA oversight. Email authentication is critical against member phishing and wire fraud.
