As nonprofits find themselves increasingly at risk of cyber-attacks, NetHope is gathering data to track the health of our nonprofit Members when it comes to cybersecurity. This information can be used identify common shortfalls and catalyze collective action.
The data is gathered through NetHope’s ‘State of Cybersecurity in Members’ survey: an annual survey polling NetHope Members on various aspects of their cybersecurity risk management, ability to consume support, and maturity. In 2022, 36 of NetHope’s Members responded to this exercise – representing a little over half of our 60+ Members, who collectively make up around 60% of all non-governmental aid spend and serve about 1.7 billion people in 215 countries globally.
This is the second year NetHope has run this exercise. The data is intended to inform Member decision-making, sectoral advocacy, and NetHope’s own program work – most notably our Digital Protection Program, a flagship initiative aiming to fill key capacity gaps and execute broader system change to make NGOs safer and more digitally resilient.
