Cybersecurity for social impact organizations: keep your mission safe

A practical session for nonprofits on protecting your people, your data, and your work. Led by a security specialist from Nord Security.

Your organization runs on trust. The families in your case files, the donors in your database, the partners who share sensitive information with you, all of them rely on your team to keep that data safe.

Most attacks that reach a nonprofit are ordinary, a convincing email, a reused password, an account that stayed active after someone left. They are also preventable once your team knows what to look for.

Jurgita Kačkytė from Nord Security leads a working session on the security fundamentals every organization should have in place. She covers how attacks actually reach small teams, the habits that stop most of them, and how to build procedures that hold up as staff and volunteers come and go. You will leave able to name your biggest risk and the first step to close it.

Bring your question. We'll close with an open Q&A session where you can get direct guidance on your specific challenges.

What you will learn

How to recognize social engineering and phishing before someone on your team clicks.

The password and multi-factor authentication habits that stop most account breaches.

How to protect your organization against malware and ransomware, and what a simple incident response plan looks like when something does go wrong.

How to set staff and volunteer security procedures for onboarding and offboarding, so access leaves when people do.

Who should attend

• Leaders and operations staff who hold responsibility for data and systems at a social impact organization.

• Program and field teams who handle beneficiary information day to day.

• Anyone at a nonprofit who wants a clear, non-technical starting point for keeping their work secure.
