Data on donors and beneficiaries
We inventory where the data in the forms ends up, who has access and which SaaS services process them, then we apply proportional access controls, MFA, backup and public service protection.
Pragmatic Security for NGOs
A realistic baseline for email, website, data, SaaS and recovery, according to small teams and distributed infrastructure.
Context
Security should reflect how the organization works.
NGOs often work with small teams, volunteers, SaaS services and controlled budgets, but can process sensitive data about recipients, donors and partners.

Risk areas in NGOs
The context of the sector helps us to separate the relevant exposure from the controls that just look good in a checklist.
01
Phishing and compromising shared accounts
02
Access remains active after volunteers or collaborators change
03
Website neactualizat ori infectat
04
Data dispersed into SaaS services without clear ownership
What should be protected as a priority
The focus is built around sector-specific operations, data and dependencies, not by renaming a generic package.
Campaigns and traffic peaks
We prepare the website, forms and infrastructure ahead of major campaigns through caching, WAF, anti-abuse and recovery, without permanently dimensioning the systems for the rarest tip.
Volunteering and Temporary Access
Simple onboarding/offboarding processes, individual accounts where possible and access review reduce the risk left by shared passwords and accounts that remain active after collaboration ends.
Evidence for partners and funders
We keep assessments, measures, responsibilities and remedies in a form that can support discussions with partners, funders or auditors, without non-validated compliance claims.
Security and compliance linked to the same risk
We can combine assessment, controls, evidence, application security and email identity only where they reduce risk or support the real requirements of the organization.
Compliance
Managed Compliance
Risk, controls, evidence and audit readiness managed in a continuous program.
Cyber Security
Cyber security
Assessment, hardening, identity, monitoring and incident readiness tailored to how the organization works every day.
Email & Domain Security
Email security
SPF, DKIM, DMARC, anti-spoofing and phishing/BEC protection for the digital identity of the organization.
Website Security
Security website
WAF, DDoS protection, malware scanning, hardening and recovery for public applications and websites.
Program integrat
Security must survive volunteer change and projects
Ad-hoc solutions can work until the person who configured them is no longer available. A simple, documented and repeatable program keeps ownership in the organization and reduces reliance on informal knowledge.

What remains after the project?
We do not just pursue the delivery of documents. The goal is a clearer technical and operational posture that can beined, verified and demonstrated.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions for NGOs
Can we have serious security with a limited budget?
We start with identities, email, website, backup and SaaS services that contain important data, then we expand the program only where risk justifies the investment.
What risks do volunteer accounts pose?
The main risk is the lack of ownership and access that remains active after the collaboration ends. Individual accounts, MFA and a simple withdrawal process greatly reduce this problem.
How do we prepare for a major campaign?
We review the website, forms, email domain, capability, anti-abuse protection, and recovery, and then fix high-impact issues before launch.
Do we have to move all services to ZebraByte?
No. We can operate a security program across existing SaaS services and providers as long as we have sufficient visibility and the ability to implement the necessary measures.
Security and compliance in one program.
We can start with a punctual assessment, without the obligation to change existing suppliers, then we implement and operate only the measures required by scope.
