Helping you help others. IT support for your not-for-profit.
The not-for-profit industry face increasing pressure to protect sensitive data, maintain operational continuity, and deliver services securely, often with limited resources.
That’s why specialised IT support for the third sector is more vital than ever. From managing day-to-day tech challenges to defending against cyber threats, having the right partner ensures your organisation can focus on its mission without disruption
Get more out of technology with Microsoft & Cyber Essentials
- Microsoft Business Premium empowers not-for-profits with secure, cloud-based productivity tools (like Teams, Outlook and SharePoint), while built-in security features such as device management and data protection help protect sensitive beneficiary and donor information.
- Cyber Essentials provides a government-backed framework to strengthen cyber resilience, helping not-for-profits demonstrate trustworthiness to funders and stakeholders while protecting against common cyber threats.
Who we work with
Not-for-profit current IT challenges & how CSG helps:
1. Limited resources for cyber security and IT management
Many not-for-profits operate with tight budgets and minimal in-house IT expertise, making it difficult to implement and maintain the highest-level of cyber security measures. To help overcome this, CSG provides cost-effective, scalable IT solutions specifically designed for the third sector. Our managed services give not-for-profits access to enterprise-grade security and support, without the overhead of an internal team.
2. Increasing risk of cyber attacks & data breaches
Not-for-profits hold sensitive data (eg. donor details, service user records) but may lack the defences to protect it, making not-for-profits an attractive target for cyber criminals. CSG implements layered security strategies including endpoint protection, threat monitoring and vulnerability management. With Cyber Essentials certification support, we help organisations build a strong security foundation and demonstrate trustworthiness.
3. Remote working and device management
Staff and volunteers often work remotely or use personal devices, creating challenges around secure access, data protection and device compliance. Using Microsoft 365 Business Premium, we enable secure remote access, device management and data loss prevention. CSG ensures that every user (wherever they are) is working safely and compliantly.
4. Compliance and data protection regulations
Navigating GDPR and other data protection requirements can be complex, especially without dedicated IT or legal support. CSG helps not-for-profits align with regulatory standards through policy guidance, secure infrastructure and ongoing compliance support. We simplify the process of achieving certifications like Cyber Essentials and ensure systems are audit-ready.
