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
