Non-Profit Organizations & Online Charities Can Reduce Hacking & Fraud Attacks Through Compliance: 2012 Canadian Security & Privacy Study

The Internet is an ideal home for charities and non-profits, but as shown by current events, it can be a dangerous place if security and privacy practices are not well implemented. Informatica publishes updated research on the data protection practices of the not-for-profit sector.

TORONTO, Dec. 28, 2011 /CNW/ - With the 2004 publication of "Secure Philanthropy", Informatica Research identified security vulnerabilities and control deficiencies within the non-profit industry/online e-giving sector, now superficially being exploited by hacker organizations like Anonymous and others. 

Founder and Principal Risk Advisor Claudiu Popa: "the 2012 Edition indicates that mature security practices are not tied to organization size, and compliance awareness has the highest positive impact of all initiatives."

Informatica Corporation is a Canadian consultancy specializing in information security for the non-profit sector, healthcare and finance.
