Cybersecurity Assessment for Private Foundations | Solanasis

Your mission is built for generations. Your technology should be too.

Your Mission Is Built for Generations. Your Technology Should Be Too.

Private foundations steward irreplaceable records: trust agreements, planned giving documentation, donor information, and beneficiary data. Let's face it: most do this on infrastructure that was never designed for that level of sensitivity. The mission is built for generations; the systems protecting it are often running on good intentions and a thin IT budget.

We help foundations close that gap.

The Quiet Risks Foundations Carry

Wealth management-grade data, minimal IT budgets

Foundations handle trust records, donor PII, and estate documents with the same sensitivity as any financial services firm. But most operate without dedicated IT staff. That mismatch is where quiet failure begins.

Irreplaceable records

Trust agreements, planned giving documentation, and beneficiary records. If these are lost, corrupted, 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 disaster recovery; that's false comfort.

Breach exposure is real

The Blackbaud breach cost $59M+ in settlements and exposed data from 13,000 nonprofits. Foundations are targets, not bystanders.

Foundation Compliance Readiness Assessment

10 days. Fixed fee. Board-ready reporting.

$5,000 to $7,500 depending on the number of systems and users. We'll give you a specific number after a short intro call.

How We Fit

We coordinate with your compliance counsel and your IT provider (or vendor, if you don't have internal IT). We handle cybersecurity verification, disaster recovery testing, and technical remediation. We replace no one.

Most foundations we work with don't have dedicated IT staff. That's fine. We work directly with your team and any vendors you already use. The goal is to give your board confidence that your mission-critical data is actually protected, not just backed up somewhere.

What Happens Next

1.

Hand off cleanly. Take the roadmap and execute with your existing team or IT vendor.

2.

Remediation sprint. We close the top gaps in 2-4 weeks. Fixed scope, fixed fee.
