Identity & Access Management for Nonprofits
Who has access to your donor database? Can former volunteers still log in? Does the board chair share their password? Identity and access management ensures the right people have the right access — and no one else.
Access Management Challenges in Nonprofits
High turnover, shared accounts, and diverse users make identity management uniquely challenging.
Former Volunteers Still Have Access
Without systematic offboarding, former volunteers, interns, and seasonal staff retain access to email, donor databases, and shared drives. Each active account is a security vulnerability.
Shared Passwords Everywhere
The donor CRM login shared by five people. The admin password on a sticky note. The social media credentials in a shared document. Shared passwords make accountability impossible and security meaningless.
Board Members on Personal Devices
Board members access sensitive organizational data from personal phones, tablets, and laptops. Without identity management, you can't control or even track this access.
Too Much Access for Everyone
When everyone has admin access to everything, a single compromised account exposes your entire organization. Least-privilege access limits the damage from any single breach.

Why BrightWorks IT for Nonprofits
Nonprofit User Complexity
We understand the unique challenge of managing access for full-time staff, part-time staff, regular volunteers, seasonal volunteers, board members, contractors, and auditors.
Donor Data Protection
Access to donor PII and financial data is strictly controlled with role-based access, MFA, and audit logging.
Fast, Frictionless Access
Security shouldn't slow your team down. SSO and streamlined MFA keep access fast while maintaining strong protection.
“We had 47 former volunteer accounts still active when BrightWorks IT did their initial audit. They cleaned up access, deployed MFA, and built an onboarding/offboarding process that runs automatically. Our donor data has never been better protected.”
