As part of our final FIRM Alumni Session for the season, we invited local experts to speak about cybersecurity and how it affects nonprofits in Montgomery County. We’ve created an ICYMI (In Case You Missed It) with some of the highlights from the session, including: insurance requirements for county nonprofits, why you need a Written Information Security Plan, and the five areas to focus on in your organization.
Interested in learning more about this topic? One Nonprofit Montgomery member organization (health services) has offered to share their story about how they assessed their risk, brought staff on board, and made cybersecurity part of how they do business. Email Lesley for more information.
