Description

To work in team members the board members of non-profit organizations need tools that are easy to use and allow for communication. They deal with sensitive information which could be a disaster in the wrong hands and must be kept secure. Despite the widespread use of digital communications including texting, email and messaging apps they aren’t sufficiently secure to be used in board business, making boards at risk of cyberattacks.

Nonprofit board directors are volunteers who bring diverse experiences, skills, and knowledge to their jobs. Many board directors also have other jobs or careers. These different responsibilities can make it difficult for them to communicate with each with one another.

The good news is that the right technology can aid. The integration of a chat, messaging and collaboration platform with a board management program or a document system will improve the flow of information, avoiding the loss of data and duplicates. It also helps protect against a cyberattack and safeguard confidential documents and conversations.

Volunteer board members often have access to highly sensitive data. Hackers are aware and are targeting them with phishing attacks as well as ransomware, where criminals threaten to release private information unless they pay a certain amount of money. Additionally, to these risks, boards can be subject to legal repercussions and a loss of trust if sensitive files are accidentally shared via unsecured channels like email or on a personal device. To avoid these risks, the ideal solution should include strict cybercheckboxes, as well as an audit trail to protect the confidentiality and integrity of information.
