Cyberattacks don’t just target data—they shatter trust, disrupt operations, and tarnish reputations. As a vCSO, engaging a third-party penetration testing provider isn’t just about compliance; it’s about staying ahead of the hackers, protecting customer relationships, and demonstrating that security is a top priority.

Non-profits face unique challenges when it comes to cybersecurity. They’re often strapped for resources, dependent on donations, and understaffed. But whether they realize it or not, non-profits are just as much in the crosshairs of hackers as a multinational company.

This is a great time to get conversations going around cybersecurity, but if your organization has been holding off on this topic until now, there’s a problem. Sending out a few emails or having a webinar here or there to remind employees to “be careful online” once a year is incredibly dangerous. 

How can you tell if the cybersecurity you have in place is strong enough to withstand hackers? Well, you really can’t. But you can look at what your cybersecurity is doing and do your best to strengthen it.
