In this session, you will deepen your understanding of essential cybersecurity principles, threats, and risks, while recognizing the critical importance of an executive-led cybersecurity management program for nonprofit organizations (NFPs). You will discover why effective cybersecurity management may be even more crucial for NFPs compared to for-profit entities. Furthermore, given the diverse approaches to managing cybersecurity across various NFPs, you will learn how to advance your organization's cybersecurity maturity by implementing a robust cybersecurity program based on proven methodologies. As harmful cybersecurity incidents are increasingly common, the presenters will share best practices for responding to and recovering from such incidents, emphasizing the necessity of a cybersecurity incident response plan.

The presenters, cybersecurity professionals from SingerLewak’s Business Informatics practice, bring decades of experience in cybersecurity, information systems, internal controls, and incident response projects. 

This session was recorded on May 29, 2025 for CalCPA’s Not-For-Profit Organizations Conference.
