As nonprofits face increasing threats from cyber-attacks, NetHope is working to assess the cybersecurity health of its Members. By gathering data on their cybersecurity practices, we aim to pinpoint common vulnerabilities and drive collective action. This data is collected through NetHope’s annual 'State of Cybersecurity in Members' survey, which evaluates various aspects of cybersecurity risk management, support utilization, and organizational maturity.
Over 60 NetHope Members accounting for approximately 60% of global non-governmental aid spending and supporting around 1.6 billion people, were invited to participate in the survey.
Now in its third year, this survey provides valuable insights to guide NetHope Members and the broader nonprofit sector on cybersecurity best practices, advocacy efforts, and program initiatives. Notably, it supports our Digital Protection Program, a key initiative aimed at addressing critical capacity gaps and driving systemic change to enhance nonprofit digital resilience and safety.
The insights from this survey will also enable the NetHope Global Humanitarian ISAC to drive collective action on essential cybersecurity issues affecting our member nonprofits and the sector at large. Nonprofits working in complex humanitarian and development environments face unique cybersecurity challenges and often lack the resources to tackle these issues effectively on their own.
