Introduction
Fort Privacy has been a trusted partner in the Credit Union sector since 2017, providing comprehensive data protection services to over 60 Credit Unions. Our expertise has enabled Credit Unions to navigate the challenges of GDPR compliance, conduct DPIAs and manage risk, meet evolving regulatory requirements under NIS2 and DORA, equip their staff with essential training, and appoint us as their dedicated Data Protection Officer.
Having worked closely with Credit Unions, we have gained valuable insights into the unique operations, suppliers and ethos of the industry. This deep understanding has allowed us to develop tailored compliance frameworks, enhance our risk and compliance knowledge, and innovate targeted compliance services to better serve our Credit Union clients.
