Book a DemoThe NCUA ACET Is Transitioning — What Credit Unions Need to Know
The NCUA's Automated Cybersecurity Evaluation Toolbox (ACET) — based on the FFIEC Cybersecurity Assessment Tool — is being retired as the FFIEC CAT sunsets. Credit unions must transition to successor frameworks to maintain examination readiness.
Trumbull maps your existing ACET posture to the successor frameworks NCUA examiners will use — NIST CSF 2.0, CIS Controls v8, and NIST SP 800-53 — so your program remains current through the transition and beyond.
ACET Successor Frameworks
NIST CSF 2.0
The updated NIST Cybersecurity Framework with expanded governance function — the primary successor for most credit unions.
CIS Controls v8
Implementation Group-based controls providing prescriptive, actionable security requirements.
NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5
Comprehensive control catalog for credit unions with more complex risk profiles.
NIST SP 800-171r2
For credit unions handling controlled unclassified information (CUI).
