Charities are sitting on a treasure trove of data. Valuable information on beneficiaries, supporters and volunteers as well as invoice and payment details can be sold by cyber criminals and used to attack the charity and identify other targets. The DCMS Cyber Security Survey 2022 found that:
* 30% of charities reported a cyber breach in the previous 12 months
* 26% of those experience a cyber attack each week.
It is no surprise then that 72% of charities rate cyber security as a high priority.
