Your mission is to help people. Our mission is to help you help those people by avoiding fines and embarrassment.

We’re seeing more and more cybersecurity regulations and compliance clauses in the contracts from funding agencies. The second-to-last thing your donors want to hear is that you used their donations to pay fines and penalties. The last thing they want to hear is that you breached their personal information.

And the last places you want to be are in the headlines and an embarrassing board meeting.

We advise non-profit executives so you can sleep better at night knowing your data is protected and you are compliant with regulations.

We know you want to pass regulatory audits, survive incident investigations, know your insurance will pay, and win lawsuits. Or avoid them completely.

Many healthcare non-profits think their HIPAA-only compliance program is enough. They are wrong.

Non-healthcare agencies are also seeing more cyber requirements in regulations, contracts, and grants.

We look at ALL your compliance requirements at once – state laws, credit card requirements, and the requirements hidden in your contracts and cyber insurance policy.

Unlike IT staff and Managed Service Providers, we can help with privacy and confidentiality regulations – some of which conflict with federal regulations.

THEY ARE CLOSING OUR HIPAA INVESTIGATION!

“Great news! Attached is the letter we received from the OCR saying they are closing our HIPAA case without further action. Mike, thank you so much for your assistance with the response. I can’t tell you how much we appreciate your input that greatly influenced this outcome.”

— Rebecca Stodolak

We help you keep the people your serve, your donors, and your board of directors happy.  We are proud to have helped small non-profits to large national non-profits meet their regulatory and legal requirements.

Protect Your Reputation, Funding, and Mission with Expert Cybersecurity Compliance Support

From national organizations like the ALS Foundation and The Arc to respected regional and local agencies, we've helped non-profit leaders uncover critical cybersecurity and compliance gaps—before they turned into damaging headlines, lost funding, or lawsuits.

Your organization is trusted by donors, partners, and the public. But that trust can evaporate overnight if a data breach or compliance failure exposes sensitive information or violates legal and contractual obligations.

Cybersecurity compliance isn't just an IT issue.

It's a leadership responsibility that affects your funding, your reputation, and your mission.

Avoid Fines, Lawsuits, and Donor Fallout

You are governed by:

  • Laws and regulations protecting sensitive client, employee, and donor data.

  • Contracts with state, federal, and private funding sources that include security and privacy clauses

  • Cyber insurance policies that may not pay if you weren’t compliant when attacked

  • YOUR MISSION TO HELP PEOPLE - Don't waste valuable time and money dealing with avoidable violations

We’ve seen too many non-profits unknowingly violate one or more of these—putting themselves at risk of public embarrassment, steep fines, and having to explain to donors why their contributions were spent on lawsuits instead of services.

We Give You Clarity and Control

We don’t just ask a few questions and take your word for it.

Like a good doctor, we look under the surface to see what’s really going on. Then we work side-by-side with your compliance officer, IT director, and executive team to:

  • Review your current cybersecurity posture

  • Identify cybersecurity and compliance gaps

  • Provide proven policy templates and checklists

  • Guide your team in building a defensible, auditable compliance program

Your Leadership Sets the Tone

Non-profit executives who lead on cybersecurity compliance don’t just avoid problems—they earn the confidence of funders, board members, and donors.

You are the public face of your organization.

Let’s talk confidentially about your risks—and how we can help you reduce them before they become headlines.

We take the Risky Guesswork out of Cybersecurity and Compliance

The most common root cause of penalties is the lack of an accurate and thorough Security Risk Assessment.

That's why we look under your organization's 'skin' to evaluate your cybersecurity and compliance.
