CUISPA Selects Compushare to Join Exclusive Organization; Members Benefit From IT Provider's 10 Years of Security and Compliance Experience with Financial Institutions.

SANTA ANA, Calif. -- Compushare, a provider of information security and compliance solutions for community financial institutions, has been selected by the Credit Union Information Security Professionals Association (CUISPA) for affiliate membership. CUISPA is a national association of credit union IT professionals founded on the principles of cooperation and knowledge sharing. Established in 2004, CUISPA has over 150 members and 17 local chapters throughout the United States.

"Information security is a complex and evolving challenge we all share as an industry," said Kelly Dowell, executive director of CUISPA. "CUISPA was organized to foster cooperation among credit union IT professionals and industry stakeholders in an effort to improve security practices throughout the industry. Compushare's extensive experience with credit union IT operations and their commitment to the industry made them a logical candidate for our Affiliate Member Program. We are excited to have them on board. Compushare is sure to be a valuable resource for our members."

Compushare's consultative solutions group assists financial institutions with risk and compliance in areas such as GLBA compliance, information security and business continuity. Its integration practice manages projects including large IT upgrades, rollouts, and core software conversions, while providing the hardware and software associated with these projects. These integration services ensure successful implementation of best-of-breed technology solutions.

Compushare's managed services includes proactive and reactive monitoring, patch management, encrypted online data backups and 24/7 security monitoring, generally supporting organizations by assisting internal IT staff or by actually serving as an institution's outsourced solution. Compushare's managed services enable institutions to outsource expert support in multiple areas rather than incur the cost of maintaining in-house expertise in multiple areas.

"Our selection for membership with CUISPA proves our successful track record of helping credit unions meet compliance and security requirements," said Romir Bosu, president and CEO of Compushare. "Over the past 10 years, Compushare has worked with 500 community financial institutions. We have seen everything security and compliance-related that affects credit unions, so CUISPA members can rest assured that we will provide insight to increase awareness in the industry."
