Cybersecurity threats cast an ominous shadow over organizations across all sectors. While the world often associates these risks with profit-driven businesses, non-profit organizations are equally vulnerable targets. And the stakes are alarmingly high. Recent data shows that about 6 cyber-attacks happen every 4 minutes and attacks like the 2022 one on the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) send shivers across non-profits. To make things even worse, limited resources and backup resources mean a successful breach could prove catastrophic. Hence, non-profit cybersecurity is a particularly important issue. Understanding the Cybersecurity Risks for Nonprofits Non-profit organizations face unique cybersecurity risks that stem from their distinct operational models and resource constraints. They frequently handle sensitive information, including donor and beneficiary details, which makes them attractive targets for cybercriminals. Another significant factor is the general lack of robust cybersecurity measures within many nonprofit organizations. In fact, data shows that more than 84% of nonprofit organizations don’t have a cybersecurity plan. This makes them a prime target for many malicious players. Additionally, many nonprofit organizations struggle to allocate sufficient resources to cybersecurity due to limited budgets and competing priorities. Much like the security of small business savings accounts suffers from lower budgets, non-profits are also prone to thinking reactively, instead of taking a proactive stance towards their own cyber fortress. For example, some non-profits don’t have the resources to invest in identity theft protection, cybersecurity consultancy, and even pen-testing tools to use in-house. Cybercriminals are well aware of this vulnerability and are increasingly targeting nonprofits. Some charity organizations also often underestimate their risk level, falsely believing they are unlikely targets for cyberattacks. This complacency can lead to a lack of preparedness and awareness, further increasing their vulnerability. Common Cybersecurity Risks for Nonprofits There are many types of cyber threats and attacks that affect non-profit organizations. Here are some of the most common: Data Breaches Nonprofits are goldmines when it comes to data. A data breach typically occurs when cybercriminals exploit vulnerabilities in an organization’s cybersecurity defenses. This could be through hacking efforts, phishing scams, or even physical access to insecure storage locations. There have even been cases of scammers presenting themselves as SAP consultants, requiring n |
