The prospects are frightening: Your organization being held hostage by ransomware, your members’ data being leaked on the dark web, or an employee crashing your entire network by clicking on malware. Yikes! Such catastrophes are no longer the work of sci-fi. No, in fact, cyberattacks are part of the new normal. How does your association or nonprofit prepare? Your first and best step is an independent cybersecurity assessment.
In addition to achieving peace of mind and buffing up your layers of protection, there are other reasons you may need a cybersecurity assessment—regulatory compliance (GDPR, PCI, or HIPAA), a mandate from your board, or as a step toward obtaining cybersecurity insurance.
What’s included in a DelCor cybersecurity assessment?
- Network and cloud security review—antivirus/malware, firewall, servers, user access, wired/wireless network design, patching, backups, third-party hosting.
- Vulnerability scanning and penetration testing to identify weaknesses on internal and external assets—websites, FTP servers.
- Review policies, procedures, and management practices—professional development and testing, communications, business continuity and disaster recovery, retention/destruction, human resources.
Addressing every aspect of cybersecurity helps you eliminate vulnerabilities, increase staff awareness, create a culture of cybersecurity, and demonstrate to staff, members, and regulators that you take data protection seriously.
