Cybersecurity Resources for Nonprofits

Curated, reputable, free. The same resources we use internally to keep up.

CISA Cybersecurity Resources

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency publishes free tools, guides, and alerts for organizations of all sizes. Their resources include incident-response planning templates, vulnerability advisories, and the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog.

Global Cyber Alliance Toolkits

The Global Cyber Alliance offers free toolkits designed specifically for small organizations and nonprofits. Their toolkits cover DNS protection, phishing defence, password management, and more. Each toolkit includes step-by-step setup guides that require no technical expertise.

Cyber Readiness Institute

The Cyber Readiness Institute offers a free Cyber Readiness Program that walks small and medium organizations through the fundamentals of cyber hygiene. The program covers four core topics: passwords, phishing, software updates, and USB security. It includes a Cyber Leader Workbook and training materials your staff can use directly.

Canadian Centre for Cyber Security

As a Canadian nonprofit, you have access to resources from the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security. They publish security advisories, best-practice guides, and threat assessments specifically relevant to Canadian organizations. Their publications cover topics from securing remote work to protecting personal information under PIPEDA.
