Not If, But When Cyber Resource: Practical Tips & Advice To Protect You & Your Organisation From A Cyber Attack

ACOSVO are delighted to announce that we have launched a cyber resource which aims to help voluntary sector organisations be better informed about cyber security and attacks. It has been produced in partnership with CyberScotland and supported by the Scottish Government.

Cyber security is an ever-increasing global issue and has been for many years. However the pandemic has only accelerated the adoption of digital ways of working which means cyber risk and cyber security cannot be ignored. It is no longer a case of not if you will be the victim of a cyber-attack but when.  

That is why in August 2021, in partnership with CyberScotland and supported by Scottish Government, ACOSVO launched the ‘Not If But When’ cyber project. This project focused on highlighting the importance of protecting sensitive data and ensuring steps are taken to protect your organisation from cyber-attacks. As part of this project we produced an informative, easy to navigate resource.

The ACOSVO cyber resource guides you along your cyber resilience journey, introducing a checklist (prioritised into high, medium, low) which your organisation can follow to achieve maximum cyber protection. By working through this, you will minimise the impact of future cyber-attacks on your organisation and best protect all your stakeholders.

Simple instructions are combined with more strategic-level questions to consider. You will also find signposting to further useful resources, such as articles, videos, blogs and infographics.
