    Cyber resilience is just another part of overall business resilience which is about making sure that you have a plan in place to keep operating, even when things go wrong. As organisations move online, they are more vulnerable which can result in:

    • Loss of service
    • People you work with/staff being put at risk
    • Financial and reputational impact

    Unfortunately the third sector is not exempt, according to 2024 UK Cyber Security Breaches Survey almost one in three (32%) charities experienced some form of cyber security breach/attack in last twelve months. The good news is that taking the first steps to improving your cyber resilience is easier than you might think. There is lots of support out there to help you start to prioritise cyber risk, protect against the most common threats and ensure you are prepared to respond to cyber incidents when they inevitably occur.

    SCVO have appointed a Cyber Resilience Co-ordinator, who will work closely with Scottish Government through the CyberScotland partnership, to help coordinate implementation of the action plan across Scotland’s voluntary sector to support them in becoming more cyber resilient. They will be guided by a Third Sector Cyber Resilience Working Group, made up of a range of people from across the sector, who will help shape the development of the work programme to ensure it is impactful and relevant. 

    Their website features news, events, and key information to keep your charity cyber resilient.
