Helping charities to become more cyber resilient
We will help you build a cyber-resilient organisation to protect against growing cyber crime and cyber breaches.
As a police-backed not-for-profit partnership, one of our objectives is to help charities, community groups and voluntary sector organisations build up cyber resilience and stay safe against cyber attacks.
Charities and other organisations are hugely at risk from cyber attacks - and this is growing year on year. 83% of charities reported to have experienced phishing attacks in a Government survey last year.
There are many reasons why charities are at risk of cyber breaches and cyber attacks.
-
They can hold amount of data, including financial information, which is attractive to criminals
-
They often work with a lot of part-time staff and volunteers who are not hugely aware of cyber risks and cyber security
-
They often don’t have the budgets for new up-to-date IT equipment or dedicated cyber resilience employees
What can we offer you?
-
Free membership, which includes resources, guidance, advice and regular newsletters on how to stay aware of cyber risks
-
Low cost, affordable cyber security training sessions for employees, trustees and board members
-
Access to a police-backed support system to enable charities to build cyber resilience in the long-term
