Carolyn Woodard sat down with Senior Consultant Nura Aboki recently and asked “What’s the most pressing question you are seeing from your mid-market clients around nonprofit IT needs?”

Nura quickly answered: Policies.  

Astonishingly, many larger nonprofits he works with either don’t have basic IT policies for Acceptable Use and Business Continuity, or they have outdated policies that don’t adequately cover our new hybrid environment, cybersecurity needs, or AI.

Some of the major blocks to creating or updating these policies are leadership challenges, issues of ownership of IT, and inertia. But inadequate Acceptable Use policies put your entire organization at risk and create a situation where your staff may inadvertently make security mistakes. And were that cybersecurity outcome to be severe, a lack of Business Continuity policy would hinder your organization’s ability to recover.

Listen to Nura’s insights into the importance of these foundational documents and policies, and hear his tips on how to address the barriers that are keeping you from updating those policies.
