Nonprofit Cybersecurity Services To Keep Your Site Safe

Don’t lose sleep over whether your site is secure. Our nonprofit cybersecurity services keep your site and data safe, so your team can stay focused on the mission. We’ll tell you what’s urgent, skip the scare tactics, and build a plan that fits your organization’s needs.

For starters, we begin with a server configuration that prioritizes site security, encrypting your data and setting file permissions at the operating-system level to close off common exploits and vulnerabilities. (The fact that we host your site on a dedicated server that’s entirely yours means that we can configure the server for security and performance, and tighten baseline permissions that create vulnerabilities on big shared hosts.) We vigilantly monitor your site for security issues and software updates. When a new vulnerability is disclosed for WordPress, Drupal, Backdrop, CiviCRM, PHP, or any other software running on your server, a Giant Rabbit developer will evaluate the update as it pertains to your specific site.

If we determine the update is urgent, we’ll apply it, test it, and launch it right away. If it’s not urgent (often, security vulnerabilities are narrowly conditional), we hold off and apply the update during your next regularly scheduled round of security updates.

Whether it’s grey-market bots slamming your site or credit card thieves testing stolen cards on your payment forms, life on the internet is full of hazards—and new AI models are threatening to increase the pace of vulnerabilities and exploits. It’s a lot to follow, but we’re keeping track of the details so you don’t have to. We’ll work with you to take a sustainable, right-sized approach to defending your site against bad actors.

We’ll help you implement proactive measures, like setting up DMARC policies and DDoS protection through Cloudflare or Crowdsec. If a traffic surge temporarily paralyzes your site, our automated systems will notify us, and we’ll take escalating steps to get your site back online and close off avenues of attack.

Spammers flooding your contact forms? We’ll experiment with captchas and honeypots, and help you clean up your submission data. Has your site been fully hacked before we came along? We can help with that, too—see our rescue projects!

Bots and other security threats are always evolving, which means we’re always developing and deploying new solutions across the many websites and servers we maintain. Server security is highly technical, but it doesn’t have to be a black box. We’ll make sure you’ve got a clear understanding of what’s happening as we recommend solutions to whatever the internet throws at us this time.

It’s our role to make pragmatic, cost-effective recommendations that fit your organization and the challenges you face. A cost-effective approach to security issues means starting with the most likely culprits and the most straightforward responses, and going from there. We always start with the highest-priority fixes to the biggest vulnerabilities—we want to make sure your front door is locked up tight before we start worrying about second-story windows.

Our standard security practices, including our baseline server setup, data encryption, ongoing monitoring, timely patching, DDoS protection, and spam defense, are built to cover what most of our clients need. If your organization faces bigger risks, we dig into the details with you to make calls that keep your data and your people safe.
