Nonprofit Cyber Security Calendar
Why We Created This Calendar
In our years of working with nonprofits on cyber security, we've observed that many organizations struggle not with understanding what they should be doing, but with establishing a consistent rhythm of security practices. Cyber security isn't a one-time project but an ongoing operational discipline that requires regular attention.
This calendar addresses that challenge by providing a structured approach to essential security activities throughout the year. We've specifically designed this for nonprofit organizations, recognizing your unique needs, resource constraints, and mission-focused priorities.

The Power of Regular Security Practices
Effective cyber security doesn't require expensive tools or specialized expertise for every organization. Many of the most impactful security improvements come from consistently implementing basic practices:
Regular check-ins with IT providers ensure alignment between your security needs and their services
Systematic access reviews prevent former staff or volunteers from retaining system access
Periodic inventory updates help identify unauthorized or unprotected technology
Leadership engagement ensures security efforts support rather than hinder your mission
