  • 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 Kentucky

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