Nonprofit IT & Cybersecurity

Start with the licensing you are entitled to

Microsoft offers substantial nonprofit grants and discounts on Microsoft 365, and many eligible organisations either do not claim them or claim them and then use a fraction of what they receive.

That matters because the security capability most nonprofits need — MFA, device management, email protection, audit logging — is included in what they can already obtain. The gap is configuration, not funding, which is a considerably easier problem to solve.

What we address

• Microsoft nonprofit licensing eligibility and right-sizing, so you claim what you are entitled to
• Donor data protection, including payment and personal information under California privacy law
• Volunteer and temporary staff access provisioned with expiry, since turnover is high by design
• Email authentication so your domain cannot be spoofed in donation-fraud attempts against supporters
• Documentation to satisfy grant and funder security requirements

Frequently asked questions

What Microsoft discounts are nonprofits eligible for?

Eligible nonprofits can receive grants and steep discounts on Microsoft 365, including plans carrying the security capability most organisations need. Eligibility depends on your registration status and mission. Claiming it is worth doing before considering any paid security tooling.

How should we handle volunteer access?

Provision with an expiry date from the outset. Volunteer turnover is high and offboarding is easily missed, so access that expires by default is far safer than access that relies on someone remembering. Scope permissions to the specific task rather than granting broad access for convenience.

Do funders ask about our cybersecurity?

Increasingly yes, particularly for grants involving personal data or larger sums. The requests ask for evidence of controls and policies rather than assurances, which is the same documentation problem every regulated sector faces.
