CHARITIES

Free security help
for charities.

Good security takes time, money and people, which is exactly what most charities are short of. So part of my time every month goes to charities, for free. Every paying client helps fund it.

THE CHALLENGE

Why it matters.

30%

of charities were attacked

in a year, and of those, 19% said it hurt the services they deliver.

£1,850

average recovery cost

for the most disruptive incidents, with £890 of that going on staff time to recover.

83%

faced social engineering

yet only 19% of charities have a written incident response policy.

WHAT I CAN HELP WITH

Small fixes, big difference.

GDPR basics

Privacy notices, data protection policies, subject access requests and what to do when something goes wrong.

Cyber hygiene

Multi-factor authentication, backups, phishing awareness and the handful of settings that stop most attacks.

Training

Practical sessions for staff, volunteers and trustees. Plain English, real examples, no scare tactics.
