Threats

Why Cybercriminals Target Nonprofits

Attackers see nonprofits as soft targets with valuable data, limited security budgets, and high volunteer turnover.

Top Attack Vectors

  • Business email compromise (BEC) impersonating directors or major donors
  • Ransomware encrypting donor databases and program records
  • Phishing targeting staff accustomed to urgent requests
  • Credential theft from volunteer accounts with weak passwords

What Is at Stake

  • Donor credit card numbers, SSNs, and giving histories
  • Beneficiary personal and health information
  • Grant funding eligibility and audit compliance
  • Decades of community trust that a single breach can destroy

The Transformation

What Changes With Petronella

Before

No Cybersecurity Policy

71% of nonprofits lack a cybersecurity policy. Nearly 60% have never conducted a risk assessment.

Vulnerable to BEC Attacks

A single successful business email compromise can divert tens of thousands of dollars in grant funds or donations.

No Ransomware Defense

Without immutable backups, the choice between paying a ransom and losing years of data feels impossible.

After

Complete Security Program

Written policies, risk assessments, and layered controls that satisfy board governance and grant requirements.

Email Fortress

Advanced filtering, domain authentication, and staff training that stops BEC and phishing attacks before they reach inboxes.

Immutable Backups

Encrypted, tested backup and disaster recovery systems that cannot be encrypted or deleted by attackers. You never face the ransom choice.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can our nonprofit afford cybersecurity?

Yes. Our security solutions are designed for nonprofit budgets. You should not have to choose between cybersecurity and serving your community. We deliver maximum protection at the lowest possible cost.

Why do cybercriminals target nonprofits?

Nonprofits hold valuable data (donor financials, SSNs, beneficiary records) but often have limited security. Attackers see you as a soft target with the same valuable data as for-profit businesses.

How do you handle volunteer access?

We implement role-based access controls, MFA, and automated deprovisioning so volunteers get only the access they need, and lose it immediately when they move on.

Do you support grant compliance requirements?

Yes. We provide audit-ready security documentation that satisfies federal, state, and foundation grant requirements. See also our managed IT services for nonprofits.

What if we already have a data breach?

Contact us immediately. We provide incident response, digital forensics, and breach notification support. The sooner you act, the less damage occurs. Call 919-601-1601 now.
