Why Every Member of Your Team Needs Cyber Security Training
​
Your charity or VCSE is at risk!
Charities and VCSEs are becoming increasingly digital, amplifying the need for stringent cyber security. With sensitive donor and beneficiary data at stake, the ramifications of a cyber breach can be catastrophic both financially and reputationally.
​
30% of UK charities were hit by a cyber-attack in 2022, with 87% of these charities reporting phishing attempts, and 23% identifying a more sophisticated attack such as a denial of service, malware or ransomware attack.
​
The simplest way for criminals to access your systems, steal and sell your data, or hold you to ransom, is through your staff and volunteers. The majority of successful cyber attacks are due to human error.
All the expensive technology out there won’t prevent a successful attack if your workers inadvertently allow them into your network through a lack of understanding of the risks and how they can be targeted.
​
These risks have increased significantly now that many of us are working remotely, and many charities allow staff and volunteers to use their own devices.
​
But here’s the good news: You don't need to be tech-savvy to understand and implement effective cyber security. Our training equips every charity or VCSE member, from volunteers to trustees, with the knowledge they need to shield your organisation, providing simple practical steps they can take immediately after training completion to significantly reduce the risk of your organisation being hit by a successful cyber attack.

"VSL courses bring what can be complex and confusing (but extremely important) subjects to life in a way that makes learning interesting and easily digestible.
​
We found the Cyber Security course to be particularly helpful and very complementary to their GDPR course. I’m glad that our team have undertaken both options."
