AI can be quite convincing yet sometimes wrong. A simple AI safety awareness page can to remind your team to verify info before publishing.

A great example is Stanford's Responsible AI. It's jargon-free and explains risks in simple terms. bit.ly/3OGILWs

If your cybersecurity plan only asks "how do we keep them out?," it's incomplete. Nonprofits need mission resilience: the ability to keep serving even when a system fails.

If your nonprofit doesn't yet have an AI policy, create a simple AI awareness page to highlight the risks and get a conversation started in your org.

We like Stanford University's Responsible AI page as an example:

Nonprofit cybersecurity begins with "reading" your organization to gain clarity on your most vulnerable areas before spending a dime on vendors and software.

Budget constraints need not be a reason to miss out on an affordable and transformative approach to organization and mission security. An integrated approach that leverages team cooperation and information sharing promotes the growth of sustainable cyber and data security awareness.

We agree! Moving to a CRM is daunting but also the next step for a growing nonprofit. From a security perspective (our favorite lens) spreadsheets w >500 client records are risky: hard to protect, easily copied, no data access visibility. CRMs provide efficiency and defensibility. #nonprofits

Robust financial support for #Nonprofits resilience is long over due, from tech to training! The technical debt and accompanying risk puts years of investment at risk.
