Charity Cyber Essentials Awareness Month: October 2024
Safeguard Your Charity with Cyber Essentials
Charity Awareness Month may have come to an end, but the need for Cyber Essentials certification continues. Protecting your charity's valuable data is vital in today’s digital landscape. Our team is here to help – please get in touch to discuss your options and get a quote.
Your charity holds valuable data – information on beneficiaries, supporters, volunteers, and financial transactions. This makes you a prime target for cybercriminals. In today’s digital world, trust and cybersecurity go hand in hand. Demonstrating your commitment to protecting this data is crucial, and Cyber Essentials certification is the perfect way to do it.
Cyber Essentials is a government-backed scheme that focuses on five essential technical controls designed to safeguard against the most common cyber threats. It allows organisations of all sizes, including charities, to showcase their dedication to cybersecurity.
This October, CyberCrowd is partnering with IASME and the NCSC to help charities like yours understand and mitigate the cyber threats they face. As part of Charity Cyber Essentials Awareness Month, we’re offering special support, guidance, and a discounted rate on Cyber Essentials certification.
