Overview
Nonprofit organizations in Chicago face cybersecurity risks that are often underestimated precisely because the sector is underestimated as a target. Donor databases contain financial information and personal data. Grant management systems hold sensitive operational and financial records. Many Chicago nonprofits operate with donated technology infrastructure and IT volunteers rather than dedicated IT staff — creating security gaps that are invisible until something goes wrong.
SecureNext works with Chicago-area nonprofits to design security programs that fit nonprofit budgets without compromising on the protections donor data and organizational continuity require. We have experience working within the financial constraints of nonprofit organizations and structuring engagements that prioritize the highest-risk gaps first. We also understand the grant compliance dimensions of nonprofit cybersecurity — some federal and state grants now include cybersecurity requirements as a condition of award.
