Cybersecurity threats and data breaches have become much more common in recent years. In the last year alone, there were over 1800 incidents of data breaches that were publicly reported. These incidents resulted in a loss of billions for over 420 million people.
If you think non-profits are immune to cybercrimes and data breaches, think again. Experts suggest that non-profit agencies must be prepared for data breaches as much as for-profit business organizations. This is because human service agencies sit atop valuable personal data that hackers may find tempting to misuse.
Keen to learn more about emergency preparation for data breaches and upskill your case managers? Here are three tips...
Invest in Training
Training and upskilling your case managers for cybersecurity is the first step to preventing major damage to your non-profit agency. Take time out between case management to equip your caseworkers for potential data breaches and help them avert those by implementing cyber-safe practices.
Cultivate Cybersecurity Culture
Business organizations are seeking cultural change in the workplace to mitigate cybersecurity risks. Discuss, educate, and iterate the importance of cybersecurity among case managers to help them learn about RBAC, strong passwords, and ways cyber may breach your agency’s network.
Leverage the Cloud Security
The cloud has multi-level security protocols that can significantly improve your agency’s cybersecurity. Utilize non-profit software on the cloud to store case notes and financial data, as well as collaborate on projects.
