Your mission matters too much to be derailed by a breach.
Nonprofits hold donor PII, financial records, and beneficiary data, but rarely have dedicated security staff or budget. STS delivers mission-driven security programs that protect the data your donors trust you with, at price points that respect your operating model.
The reality facing nonprofits.
Nonprofits are increasingly targeted because attackers know they combine valuable data (donor PII, payment information, beneficiary records) with minimal security investment. A breach doesn't just cost money, it destroys the donor trust that funds your mission. When a children's charity loses donor credit card data, the damage extends far beyond the financial.
What keeps nonprofits leaders up at night.
Budget Constraints
Every dollar spent on security is a dollar not spent on mission. Boards scrutinize overhead ratios. Donors expect their contributions to go to programs, not IT infrastructure. The security budget is often zero, until a breach makes it infinite.
Donor Data Responsibility
Donor PII, credit card numbers, recurring payment details, and giving history, nonprofits hold data that's just as sensitive as any commercial enterprise, but with a fraction of the protection.
Volunteer & Part-Time Staff
High volunteer turnover, part-time staff, shared accounts, and BYOD create an access management nightmare. Who has access to what? Nobody knows, because nobody has time to manage it.
Compliance Without Resources
PCI DSS compliance for donation processing. State charitable solicitation regulations. GDPR if you have European donors. Privacy laws that multiply every year, and your compliance team is the executive director wearing another hat.
Phishing Targets Generosity
Nonprofit employees are trained to help people and trust communication. Attackers exploit this with donation-themed phishing, fake grant notifications, and impersonation of partner organizations.
We believe that protecting organizations that protect communities is not just good business, it's the right thing to do. Our nonprofit programs are priced for mission-driven budgets and designed for teams that have zero security specialization.
Solutions built for nonprofits.
Nonprofit Security Essentials
A right-sized security bundle for organizations with 10-100 employees: email security, endpoint protection, managed backups, and basic monitoring. One predictable monthly cost, complete foundational protection.
Donor Data Protection
PCI compliance for donation processing, data classification for donor records, access controls for financial systems, and encryption for data at rest and in transit. Protect what your donors trust you with.
Security Awareness for Nonprofits
Training designed for nonprofit culture, short, practical, and empathy-aware. Because telling people who work in homeless services to 'be suspicious of everyone' doesn't work. We teach smart security without killing the mission-driven spirit.
Compliance on a Budget
PCI SAQ guidance, basic policy templates, and volunteer access management procedures. Compliance doesn't have to be expensive, it has to be practical and consistent.
Incident Response Planning
A simple, clear IR plan that volunteer coordinators and part-time staff can actually follow. Who to call, what to unplug, how to communicate to donors. Tested annually with a tabletop exercise.
Grant-Friendly Reporting
Security investment documentation that satisfies grant makers and board members. We help you articulate security spending as mission protection, because that's exactly what it is.
Framework-mapped. Audit-ready.
“A youth services nonprofit with 35 employees implemented our security essentials program for less than the cost of a part-time employee, and used the compliance documentation to secure a federal grant that required demonstrable cybersecurity practices.”
