Protect members, accounts, and essential services
Member trust.
Stronger defenses.
Your members rely on digital banking, lending, and branch services every day. Test the access controls and connected workflows that protect their information and keep financial activity in the right hands.
Test the rules behind transactions.
Transfers, loan applications, and approval workflows depend on more than a secure login. We explore business logic and connected APIs using agreed test accounts and scenarios.
Digital banking, lending & APIs
Check the paths between systems.
Branches, staff networks, and remote access create connections an attacker may try to cross. Assess exposed services, internal privileges, and network boundaries.
Branch networks & remote access
Coverage built around you
Connected branches.
Coordinated testing.
Start with a member-facing application or combine application and network testing. We help define the scope around your digital banking services, branch infrastructure, and authorized vendor integrations.

Built on member trust.
Backed by clear evidence.
Your members trust you with their savings, personal information, and financial plans. Your IT team needs a practical view of where those assets are exposed, with findings that make sense to system owners and leadership.

Practical answers for your IT team.
Discuss member access, transaction logic, and internal network risks with the person who tested them. Prioritize fixes around the information and services affected.
Evidence for examiners and leadership.
Use the report, attestation letter, and retest results to support examination preparation, internal audit, and discussions with your board or supervisory committee.

Let’s chatWhat credit union systems can Halo penetration test?
We can scope testing around member portals, digital banking applications, loan workflows, mobile apps, APIs, external services, and internal networks. Core banking platforms and other vendor-hosted systems require appropriate authorization and agreement on testing boundaries.
Can you test our digital banking provider’s systems?
Testing is limited to systems your credit union is authorized to assess. We help define which applications, configurations, and integrations are in scope and identify any provider approvals needed before testing. A contract with a vendor does not automatically authorize testing its infrastructure.
How do you plan testing around member services?
We agree on test accounts, transaction limits, testing windows, escalation contacts, and stop conditions before work begins. Where appropriate, a staging environment and synthetic member records help validate issues while limiting operational impact.
Can the report support an NCUA examination or internal audit?
The report and retest results can help document testing and remediation within the agreed scope. Share examiner requests and internal audit objectives during scoping so the engagement produces relevant evidence. A pentest alone does not establish regulatory compliance or guarantee an examination outcome.
What deliverables are included?
Every engagement includes a detailed report, prioritized findings, supporting evidence, remediation recommendations, direct access to your tester, an attestation letter, and one round of retesting after fixes are ready.
How much does a penetration test cost, and how long does it take?
Penetration testing starts at $3,950. Pricing and timing depend on the applications, networks, user roles, and workflows in scope. After a scoping conversation, we provide a fixed-price proposal and schedule, with reporting, remediation support, and one round of retesting included.
