Industry · Not-for-profit
A breach or close call means you need a plan now.
The first hour after a phishing click or invoice redirection fraud determines whether you recover or close. Not-for-profits hold donor data and volunteer credentials that attract targeted attacks. You need to stop the bleed, satisfy the ACNC, and restore trust with your grant funders. We help you do that without guessing.
What this usually looks like
What a breach looks like for a not-for-profit.
Your Xero or Salesforce NPSP has been compromised. A volunteer account with excessive privileges was used to redirect a donation. The ACNC Cyber Warden guidelines are clear on reporting, and your grant funders are asking for evidence of control. You are under pressure to respond while keeping your team focused on service delivery.
The damage is not just technical. It is reputational. Donors expect their data to be safe. Volunteers need to trust the platform they use. Your board needs to show due diligence. The gap between your current setup and what is required usually involves identity governance, email security, and a tested incident response plan.
Most NFPs operate with limited IT budget and rely on internal champions. When a breach happens, that reliance becomes a bottleneck. You need external expertise to guide the immediate response and to build a defensible posture that meets privacy obligations and funder requirements.
Where we'd start
Where we start in the first 72 hours.
-
Step 01
Contain and assess the damage
We isolate compromised accounts and devices immediately. We review email logs for redirection rules and check Xero for unauthorised payments. We identify the entry point, usually a phishing email or weak password. We document everything for your records and for any regulatory reporting.
-
Step 02
Restore trust and compliance
We help you draft the ACNC notification if required. We advise on donor communication to maintain transparency. We review your privacy policy and data handling procedures against the Privacy Act. We ensure your grant funders receive clear evidence of the steps taken to secure their funds.
-
Step 03
Harden the estate to prevent repeat
We enforce MFA on all admin and donor-facing systems. We restrict volunteer access to only what is necessary. We implement email security controls to stop phishing. We set up monitoring to detect future anomalies early. This is not a one-off fix. It is a baseline that protects your mission.
How we handle security
We hold the security decisions in every environment we run.
Every client we take on runs to a set of controls we set: phish-resistant MFA, allowlisted applications, known vulnerabilities closed inside thirty days, backups that have actually been restored, and access cut the day someone leaves. Where one of those genuinely does not fit how a business works, we agree an alternative in writing rather than let it lapse.
Security and convenience pull against each other, and we would rather have the argument about where the line sits than pretend there isn't one. Some of those arguments end with us changing our mind. What we won't do is wave through a change we think ends in a breach, because we carry that incident with you. If you want a provider who actions every request without asking what it costs you, we're the wrong firm.
-
We set the standard, not the client
Every environment we run meets the same security controls, on every plan. It is not a menu and it is not priced separately.
-
Exceptions are agreed and written down
Where a control genuinely does not fit how a business works, we negotiate an alternative and record what we accepted instead. Nobody has to guess later.
-
We can say no to a change
If a request would leave you exposed, we will say so and we will not action it quietly. Convenience is worth arguing about. A breach is not.
What each plan runs
The full set of controls, and which plan carries which, sits in the plan detail.

“We're on a monthly plan across all four of our sites, two of them interstate. PCs stay healthy, licences current, and the team understand our needs well.”
“Night and day working with CCP. They came in from day one, spent the time to ensure everything was set up and secure properly, and now everything just works. Due to the success we've had with them, we further engaged them to manage our phone systems and website. If you work with CCP you will never have to worry about your IT systems again.”
“We have been using CCP since the early 2000s and have always had great service on our 20-plus PCs and server. We recently moved to a managed service and cannot rate the experience highly enough. Well done Lee and team.”
“Walked through the other quotes we had and explained in detail what services we needed and what we didn't. They came in 50% cheaper. Just good, honest, straight-shooting people.”
“We have been continually impressed with CCP over the several years we have used them. They are extremely efficient, excellent customer service and well priced. I would recommend Lee and his team.”
