Frequently asked questions

Is an information security policy realistic for a small nonprofit?+

Yes. This template is written to be practical and proportionate to your size. The core practices — strong passwords, multi-factor authentication, device locking, backups, and knowing how to report an incident — are achievable for any organization and prevent the most common breaches.

What is the difference between this and a data privacy policy?+

The information security policy covers how you protect information — the technical and operational safeguards. The data privacy policy covers what you collect, why, how it is used and shared, and the rights of individuals. Most nonprofits should adopt both.

Do we need this if we use cloud tools like email and a donor database?+

Yes. Cloud tools protect their own infrastructure, but you are still responsible for how your team uses them — strong passwords, MFA, controlling who has access, and choosing reputable vendors. This policy sets those expectations.
