Cyber Security Consulting for Nonprofit

How can you secure your non for profit organization, and implement a cyber security framework:

Although it can take significant time for an organization to improve its capacity to respond to cybersecurity challenges, existing resources can help. There is no nonprofit specific standard for cybersecurity; nonprofits are expected to use the same well-established, risk-based approach to cybersecurity management other organizations use. Accordingly, nonprofits can rely on the voluminous guidance and best practices found in the business world, regulatory guidelines, and international standards to perform risk analyses, conduct internal assessments, effectively allocate resources, and formulate sound long-term security strategies. CyberSecOp implement ISO 27001 for all of our nonprofits..
