IT Policy & Governance for Nonprofits
Documented IT policies protect your nonprofit, satisfy compliance requirements, and establish clear expectations for staff, volunteers, and board members. BrightWorks IT develops governance frameworks designed for mission-driven organizations.
Why Nonprofits Need IT Policies
Policies prevent problems, satisfy funders, and protect your organization.
No Written Policies
Most nonprofits operate without documented IT policies. When an incident occurs — data breach, inappropriate use, equipment theft — there's no framework for response or accountability.
Grant Compliance Requires Policies
Federal grants, HIPAA, and PCI DSS all require documented IT policies. Without them, you fail compliance audits and risk losing funding.
Volunteer and Staff Expectations
Without acceptable use policies, staff and volunteers don't know the rules. Personal use of devices, social media posting, and data handling are unguided.
Board Governance Gaps
Your board has fiduciary responsibility for organizational risk. Without an IT governance framework, they can't fulfill this duty.
