Being a smaller organization doesn’t make you invisible to cybercriminals. Sometimes, it makes you more attractive.

Small Businesses and NonProfits run on trust. But as AI makes phishing and impersonation more convincing, trust needs verification and stronger security controls behind it.

If your organization is adopting AI, ask:

Are our security practices evolving as quickly as the technology we’re adopting?

Have that conversation before AI becomes embedded in your workflows.

A backup that has never been tested is not a backup. It is an assumption.

Donor records, years of giving history, relationship data, are exactly the kind of thing NonProfits assume is backed up until the day they need to restore it.

Has your donor database backup ever actually been tested with a real restore? Let's find out https://www.i-mtechnology.com/disaster-recovery-and-business-continuity/

A short self-assessment covering backups, testing, documentation, and support, so you can see where your organization stands before your first call.

Public AI tools like the free version of ChatGPT work like a public computer at the library. You wouldn't use one to work on client files or donor data.

10 AI Tasks Every Executive Director Should Delegate Today

Your team is doing more with less. Funding is competitive, hiring is hard, and the administrative pile keeps growing anyway.

AI isn't here to replace your staff. It's here to take the repetitive work off their plate so they can spend more time serving your community.

A few from the list: first drafts of grant proposals, summarizing lengthy policy or vendor documents into action items, rewriting emails for clarity and tone, and helping staff find institutional knowledge that usually walks out the door when someone leaves.

Ten practical ways to delegate to AI this week, in the comments.

Instead of reading hundreds of pages manually, AI can summarize key information, identify action items, and answer questions about lengthy documents.

Your team is already using AI.

If your organization doesn't have a clear AI policy, people are already finding their own way to get work done faster with it. The question is whether that's happening out in the open or off to the side.

I said something in that session I still stand by: people who say no one will lose their job to AI aren't being straight with you. The real risk isn't AI itself. It's someone who knows how to use it doing the same work faster than the person who doesn't.

Leadership first. Culture second. Technology third. In that order, it's straightforward. Reversed, it's a mess.

A former employee's login to the 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲 rarely gets removed on their last day. It usually gets removed whenever someone happens to notice.

A quarterly access review, ten minutes, four times a year, closes that gap before it becomes one.

When did your organization last check who still has access, and who shouldn't?

Can AI help you save time without losing the human touch?

Small businesses and NonProfits may have an edge.

The Biggest Cybersecurity Threats to Nonprofits Aren't Always Visible

Shark Week reminds you every year of the same thing. The danger isn't what you see on the surface.

Cybersecurity works the same way. Most attacks don't start with an alarm. They start quietly, with an email that sounds exactly like your Executive Director, your Board Chair, or a funder you trust. AI has made those emails a lot more convincing than they used to be.

For social service and health and human service NonProfits, this isn't just a technology risk. It's a risk to services, to funding, and to the trust you've spent years building.

Three hidden risks worth reviewing this summer, in the comments.

Everyone who has ever needed access to your donor database should not still have access to it today.

Staff change roles. Volunteers move on. Access rarely gets removed at the same pace it gets granted.

A quarterly review of who can see donor data is a small habit with an outsized payoff.
