Charity Cyber Security FAQs
Why is cyber security important for charities?
More and more charities are relying on IT technology for their needs. As the use of IT grows in the charity sector, so does the threat of malicious cyber activity. Cybersecurity makes sure your charity’s data is safe from attacks both internally and externally. A cyber attack such as losing access to your IT, data attacks and breaches or even having your hard earned funds stolen have a profound negative impact on daily management of charities, finances and reputation.
Do charities need cyber essentials?
An ideal starting point for improving your cyber security is with Cyber Essentials. Cyber Essentials stands as an effective, government-supported cyber security programme, focused on live fundamental controls. When applied accurately, these controls serve to sheild your charity from prevalent cyber threats.
What are the cyber threats to charities?
The most common type of breach or attach experienced by charities is phishing, reported by 83% of charities. This is followed, to a much lesser extent, by others impersonating organisations in email or online (37% of charities), and then viruses or other malware (14% of charities).
