In an increasingly digital environment, NGOs and development organisations face growing cybersecurity risks. Tech for Good is here to help you secure your organisation against these threats, ensuring that your mission remains protected. From customised security strategies to endpoint protection and staff training, we offer comprehensive cybersecurity solutions tailored to the unique needs of non-profits.
Why Cybersecurity Matters for NGOs
Non-profits are not immune to cyberattacks—in fact, their access to sensitive data and donor funds makes them a prime target for cybercriminals. A breach can compromise the trust of your stakeholders, disrupt operations, and even jeopardise funding. If your organisation engages in any of the following activities, it’s time to take cybersecurity seriously:
- Conducting e-commerce on your website (e.g., processing donations or event registrations).
- Storing and transferring personally identifiable information (PII), such as donor details, beneficiary medical records, or employee data.
- Collecting data on preferences and habits of donors, patrons, or newsletter subscribers.
Beyond these risks, African non-profits working with EU citizens or donors must comply with the stringent requirements of the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR). Failure to meet these standards can lead to significant fines and reputational damage.
