Nonprofit Email Security
Business Email Compromise Prevention for Nonprofits
BEC attacks impersonate executives, board members, and funders to trick your staff into transferring money or sharing sensitive data. These attacks cost organizations billions annually — and nonprofits are prime targets.
How BEC Attacks Target Nonprofits
Attackers study your organization and craft highly convincing impersonation emails.
Fake Executive Wire Requests
An email appearing to be from your ED urgently requests the finance team wire $15,000 to a "new vendor." The email looks legitimate, uses the ED's name and signature, and creates urgency to bypass normal approval processes.
Spoofed Funder Communications
An email appearing to be from a major foundation requests updated banking information for a "grant disbursement." Your grants team, eager to process funding, provides the information to an attacker.
Board Member Impersonation
An email seeming to come from the board chair requests confidential documents, donor lists, or financial reports. Staff comply because the request appears to come from authority.
