Resources for NGOs

Every day we hear news about data breaches and stolen data. The world of cybercrime is like technology itself — every year brings new trends, new innovations, and new tools. To keep your organization safe online, one of the best things you can do is stay educated on the litany of threats. As an NGO, keeping information confidential and free from integrity and privacy challenges, as well as ensuring your systems are functional and up-to-date, are important to your operations — and to those you serve. To provide NGOs with useful information to protect themselves,  highly qualified professionals from CMS Cameron McKenna, Avast, and BNP Paribas have provided free guides in the field of cybersecurity.

  • Has your organization changed contracts, policies, and protocols since then?
  • Have you ever been affected by a personal data breach or data protection incident?
