What it's all about

In an era of constant change, understanding risk and building resilience is increasingly important for nonprofits. Our 3-part webinar series, led by RoundTable’s data privacy experts Destiny Bowers and Karim Beldjilali, helps you better understand today’s digital and operational challenges to protect your people, data, and impact. Each session explores a different layer of protection (personal, organizational, and long-term resilience) while offering tactical guidance and actionable steps to help organizations move forward with greater confidence.

Part 1 (April 15th): Covers understanding risk and threats, and how they apply to personal security.

Part 2 (May 20th): Focuses on organizational risk management, reducing liability, and implementing baseline protections.

Part 3 (June 17th): Addresses maintaining a strong security posture and the key actions needed for ongoing protection and success.

Part 1: Understanding Risk & Protecting Yourself

Digital safety touches every part of an organization’s work, from day-to-day operations to long-term sustainability. It’s a shared responsibility that extends beyond leadership, staff, and volunteers. Weathering the Storm Part 1 focuses on personal protection and everyday habits that can also strengthen your work across your organization.

In this session, you’ll learn:

• What digital “risk” really looks like today

• The most common threats facing nonprofits

• How to reduce your online footprint and personal exposure

• How to spot red flags and early signs of cyber attacks

• Practical ways to improve your personal cyber hygiene

• How to encourage awareness and accountability across your team
  

This foundational session centers on the idea that resilience starts with the individual.

Part 2: Organizational Risk Management & Baseline Protections

You've started building stronger personal habits; now it's time to bring that same energy to your organization as a whole!

Part 2 of our Weathering the Storm series shifts the focus from the individual to the institution. Consider this your chance to finally get all your cybersecurity ducks in a row, helping your nonprofit identify organizational risk, put the right protections in place, and create a culture where security is everyone's responsibility, not just IT's.

In this session, you'll learn how to:

• Identify your organization's key risks and liability exposures

• Implement baseline protections that reduce your vulnerability

• Establish clear internal policies and controls that your team can actually follow

• Build a culture of shared accountability and awareness across staff, volunteers, and leadership

• Create practical incident response and business continuity plans so you're ready (not scrambling) if something goes wrong

Think of this session as your organization's roadmap to stronger, smarter defenses.

Part 3: Maintaining Your Security Posture for Long-Term Resilience

Building a strong security foundation is only the beginning. As threats evolve and organizations grow, maintaining an effective security posture requires continuous attention, adaptability, and long-term planning.

In the final session of this 3-part webinar series, RoundTable’s data privacy experts, Destiny Bowers and Karim Beldjilali, will help you identify the ongoing actions you can take to strengthen resilience and stay prepared for future challenges. From updating policies to building staff awareness and monitoring risk, you’ll learn how to create sustainable security practices that support your organization’s long-term protection and success.

In this session, you’ll learn how to:

• Build a sustainable security and risk management program

• Conduct regular assessments and audits to identify emerging risks

• Keep policies current and useful

• Promote ongoing staff training and security awareness

• Create lasting habits that protect your mission

Whether you’re reinforcing existing protections or building a roadmap for the future, this session will provide actionable guidance to help your organization remain secure, resilient, and mission-focused in an increasingly complex digital landscape.
