Closing the Security Gap

Non-profits are adopting digital tools to improve efficiency, but this introduces new privacy risks. Many organizations rely on trusted vendors without understanding how data is protected, or fall victim to simple human error.

Risks for Non-Profits

  • Sensitive Data Exposure: Non-profits handle SSNs, addresses, and financial details of donors and volunteers. A breach can destroy trust instantly.
  • Third-Party Vulnerabilities: Relying on disjointed tools for fundraising and events creates weak links where data is often stored insecurely or shared without oversight.

Reducing the Risk

  • Vet Your Software: Don't assume protection. Choose transparent, security-first platforms like Buildify ensuring safe management of digital tools.
  • Train Your Staff: Human error is a major cause of breaches. Enforce strong passwords, MFA, and access limits.

From Spreadsheets to Security

Reliance on DIY spreadsheets splits sensitive data across insecure platforms. Buildify offers a centralized, secure alternative with enterprise-grade encryption and MFA.

The Iron Vault Standard: Buildify functions as an "Iron Vault," giving leaders real-time visibility into who is accessing data, protecting against unauthorized use while allowing the organization to focus on its mission.
