The Nonprofit Edge: A Conversation with Jeff Steadman - Episode 20
Cybersecurity is no longer a side conversation for nonprofit organizations. It is a core leadership and governance responsibility.
In this episode of The Nonprofit Edge Podcast, Chris Looney sits down with Jeff Steadman of RSM for a practical and timely discussion on fiduciary duty in the digital age.
Together, they explore why nonprofit leaders and boards must now think differently about cybersecurity, operational resilience, digital stewardship, and organizational risk.
The conversation examines the growing threats nonprofit organizations face today, including ransomware, business email compromise, third-party vendor vulnerabilities, and the emerging risks associated with AI. Jeff also shares actionable guidance nonprofit leaders can implement immediately, including the importance of multi-factor authentication, incident response planning, employee training, and properly managing access controls.
Key topics include:
• Why cybersecurity is now directly tied to financial stewardship
• The evolving responsibilities of nonprofit boards and executives
• Common cyber threats impacting nonprofit organizations
• How auditors are increasingly evaluating digital environments and IT controls
• Why inventorying systems, access, and vendors matters
• The importance of employee awareness and training
• AI, deepfakes, and the future of organizational risk
• Practical first steps nonprofit leaders can take today
One of the most important reminders from the conversation:
Protecting systems is ultimately about protecting mission, trust, donors, and the communities organizations serve.
This episode is essential listening for nonprofit executives, board members, advancement leaders, finance professionals, and mission-driven organizations navigating today’s increasingly digital landscape.
