Managing Risk in Fiscal Sponsorship
Inherent Liability: Depending on your sponsorship model, accepting new projects carries significant operational and legal risk.
Shared Accountability: When staff actions lead to a cybersecurity incident, your organization bears the responsibility. Mitigating this risk requires firm baseline controls and active cyber awareness across every project.
Why SAFE is Crucial: We streamline protection by providing your sponsored projects direct access to high-end tools and expert strategic advice, ultimately protecting your staff, your data, and your org's reputation.

FAQ
-
Why do fiscally sponsored projects need cybersecurity?
Since Project members are officially part of the sponsor’s staff but often use their own tooling, keeping everything safe is a true team effort. A security breach at the project level can compromise the sponsor network, tax-exempt status, and financial assets. By implementing robust cybersecurity safeguards these vital resources, donor trust, and compliance with strict grant and data privacy regulations are protected. Ultimately, this joint care helps the projects and sponsors to stay focused on making a real impact instead of cybersecurity incidents.
-
Does SAFE require advanced technical expertise to implement?
SAFE provides simple, step-by-step guidance and easy-to-use tools tailored for teams with varying levels of technical experience. Setup and installation typically takes under 20 minutes.
-
How much will I (the fiscal sponsor) be managing this program?
As much or as little as your want. RoundTable will work with your projects to set up and get started on all of the tools and platforms that this program includes, with high-level security incidents coming straight to the fiscal sponsor for assistance in remediating.
-
What happens when our internal IT person goes on vacation or takes sick leave?
You won't have to worry about tech downtime or emergency panic. RoundTable provides full backup coverage, stepping in seamlessly to handle all incoming support requests and keep your operations running smoothly while your staff is away.
-
How do we ensure our donor data and network stay secure under a shared model?
