Join CTO Matthew Eshleman for the walk-through release of our newly updated 2021 Cybersecurity for Nonprofits Playbook.

Is your nonprofit prepared? Learn the Community IT approach to cybersecurity and how to implement the changes you need to protect your organization.

Matt shares advice on security improvements that provide protection against the most common attacks. You will also learn about staff training, cyber insurance, and why you need written IT documentation and governance policies.

This Playbook gives you a structure to understand cybersecurity risks. Matt’s presentation gives you tips you can put in place quickly and train your staff on immediately. You can download the new Playbook for free here.

This webinar is appropriate for nonprofit executives, managers, accounting, development, and nonprofit IT personnel – and as with all our webinars, it is appropriate for a varied audience.

Community IT is proudly vendor-agnostic and our webinars cover a range of topics and discussions. Webinars are never a sales pitch, always a way to share our knowledge with our community.

Completely Revised in 2021

Community IT Innovators is pleased to announce the release of the completely revised 2021 Cybersecurity Readiness for Nonprofits: Community IT Innovators Playbook. This valuable nonprofit guideline is now available online for viewing and sharing.

Whether hiring a Managed Service Provider (MSP) or using an in-house IT Department, organizations need to establish a good foundation of updated systems, regular backups, good user training including passwords and crisis management, and effective security policies that can evolve with the organization.

Included in this Playbook is the eight-step Community IT Innovators framework—a multi-layered approach to cybersecurity.

New in this addition:

·       Updated framework to include nonprofits implementing a foundational level of cybersecurity (the “must haves,”) proactive (including “nice to haves,”) or optimized levels.

·       Inclusion of general cost estimate comparisons—cybersecurity practices can be low-cost and be effective, and we show you how to save budget and where to judiciously spend your budget.

·       Updated links to evolving cybersecurity concerns regarding remote work and remote learning.

·       Updated information on the evolving sector of cybersecurity liability insurance and how to educate yourself on what your policy covers.

Our goal is to give nonprofits a playbook to organize their response to increasing cybersecurity risks, in language accessible to any nonprofit executive, decision maker, or IT staff who implement security.

Cybersecurity is a critical component of the IT services at any nonprofit organization. Your IT security should work for your organization and not against it; ask
