Your team carries stories, full of sensitive data, that can’t safely “leak.” Names. Addresses. Court filings. Immigration status. Shelter locations. Notes from an intake call that someone trusted you with, once, at their worst moment. A cyber incident in a justice nonprofit isn’t just an IT problem. It can create real-world harm, put staff at […]
The intake queue is already too long. A clinic is tomorrow. A funder report is due Friday.

It’s 4:47 p.m. Someone forwards a court notice to “the team” with a subject line like “URGENT.” Two people assume the other one will calendar it.
