The quiet risks foundations carry

Here's the thing: most foundations don't think of themselves as cybersecurity targets. But the data you hold says otherwise.

Wealth management-grade data, minimal IT budgets

Foundations handle trust records, donor PII, and estate documents on infrastructure that was never designed for that level of sensitivity. That's a blind spot with real consequences.

Irreplaceable records

Trust agreements, planned giving documentation, and beneficiary records (the kind of documents that define a family's legacy). If these are lost or exposed, there is no rebuilding them.

Untested backups

Most foundations have never verified whether their backups actually produce a usable restore. That's not a backup; that's false comfort.

Breach exposure is real

The Blackbaud breach cost $56M+ in settlements and exposed data from 13,000 nonprofits. Foundations are targets, not bystanders.

Questions Foundations Ask Us

How much does this cost?
Depends on your foundation's size and what you're dealing with. Book an intro call and we'll give you a specific number. We price fairly and we're transparent about it.
Do we need board approval?
Most executive directors can approve this without a full board vote. We provide a one-page scope summary you can share with your board if needed.
How much of our team's time does this take?
3 to 5 hours over 10 business days. We designed this for lean teams; we handle the heavy lifting.
What if we don't have IT staff?
That's exactly who this is for. Most foundations we work with don't have dedicated IT. We coordinate directly with your team and any vendors you use.
