The CUMA Services Directory is the key contacts resource for credit unions, their CEO’s, Management Teams, and Boards of Directors providing a single resource to connect with services for the Credit Union sector. The publication, the first of its kind is currently a standalone project.
Certified Safes Ireland™ were the only safe supply company to be listed in the new CUMA directory with banking level safes, strongrooms, physical data protection, time locking, audit and alarm integration. The eye-catching listing was the work of Certified Safes Ireland™ team member Elena Gallotta.
Certified Safes Ireland™ provide European certified safes, strongrooms, data rooms, time locks and audit systems for the protection of cash and sensitive data to the banking and Credit Union sector Nationwide.
Accredited European certification is verifiable assurance that a safe, strongroom, data cabinet or data room has been tested by an ISO/IEC 17064 European accredited testing laboratory and that the results of testing have been certified by an independent ISO/IEC 17065 accredited European certification body to the relevant standard and grade. This is essential proof of standard under European law for insurance, GDPR and litigation purposes that any Credit Union simply cannot afford to be without.
