Cybersecurity and AI training for NGOs, charities and development organisations
NGOs handle donor funds and sensitive beneficiary data, often with small IT teams and staff spread across field locations. That combination attracts fraudsters, and donors increasingly ask what you do about it.
The risks NGOs face
- Fake payment requests and changed bank details from 'partners' or 'suppliers'
- Impersonation of country directors and donors
- Sensitive beneficiary data, including health and protection information
- Shared devices and personal phones in field locations
- Donor due-diligence questions about cybersecurity and data protection
What staff training should cover
- Recognising phishing and impersonation
- Payment verification for partners, grantees and suppliers
- Protecting beneficiary data under data protection law
- Safe use of personal and shared devices
- Safe use of AI tools for reports and proposals
AI for small teams
AI tools can help small teams draft reports and proposals, summarise documents and analyse programme data, if staff know how to use them well and what data to keep out.
