Sheltered Harbor is a not-for-profit, industry-led effort. Fees paid to Shelter Harbor depend on the size and type of institution.
You may apply at a higher tier to take advantage of the benefits of that level.
For banks and credit unions, Participant fees are determined based on Participant's total US banking assets to more accurately reflect bank size. The schedule below describes current fees applying at each level of Participant’s assets.

If your operations include brokerage and/or asset management accounts, please check those fee schedules as well, because you will pay a single fee based on the larger of the banking or brokerage or asset management fee calculation.
For securities firms, Participant fees are determined based on both client assets* and the number of clearing clients. The schedule below describes current fees applying at each level of Participant’s assets and clearing clients.

Sheltered Harbor standards, best practices, and other materials are developed by collaborative working groups, composed of subject matter experts, mainly from Sheltered Harbor participant institutions and partners.
The working groups are highly active, meet often, and produce concrete deliverables. Therefore, joining is a real commitment. In return, members get to shape the development of the standard, build their own skills and expertise in various aspects of cyber resilience, and grow their professional networks through substantive work with peers around the country.
Current Working Groups:
