Email and invoice fraud
Messages impersonating leaders or vendors requesting urgent payments or gift cards.
Nonprofits & NGOs
Protect your mission and the people who depend on it.
Practical, budget-aware cybersecurity for nonprofits that manage donor information, grant funds, volunteers and community programs.
Why it matters
Every dollar lost to fraud is a dollar not spent on the mission.
Nonprofits are targeted because attackers expect limited security budgets and trusting cultures. Fake invoices, impersonated executive directors and compromised donor databases all divert resources from the people you serve.
Many nonprofits are eligible for discounted or donated Microsoft licensing. We help you configure those licenses properly so you get the security they include.
