Cyber thieves do not physically grab your keys or force an entry
into your business, but the damage they do to your organization can
be just as consequential. If your not-for-profit organization
becomes the victim of cybercrime, it could suffer a blow to its
reputation that is impossible to overcome.
So it is important to assess your risks of data breaches
carefully and implement effective security policies and procedures.
This will put you in a better position to protect valuable
financial and personal data about donors and other
constituents.
Are You a Sitting Duck?
Not-for-profit organizations generally have limited
administrative personnel and often lack dedicated IT staff. They
also typically have smaller budgets for technology solutions such
as firewalls, antivirus programs and intrusion protection. It is no
surprise, then, that the not-for-profit sector is one of the most
frequently compromised by hackers.
