Ways To Keep Your Nonprofit Accounting Data Safe

Whether your nonprofit accounting data is managed by IT, accountants, bookkeepers, or volunteers, there are several really important things you can do to keep your data safe and secure.

Nonprofit Accounting Data and Donors

Nonprofit accounting data loss and security is a huge concern for management, funding sources and donors. As data breaches continue to keep online security on top of people’s minds, donors are becoming more vigilant when asked for personal and payment information.

Three Ways To Keep Your Nonprofit Accounting Data Safe - araize.com

Since this is a big concern for donors, nonprofits must implement a secure data system to prevent a significant data loss event. Data loss doesn’t simply occur as a result of mechanical or human failure. Information is lost or breached when it cannot be restored. People are going to make mistakes and servers will fail.

Even regular data backups cannot prevent a disaster from happening. Backups may occur from a certain point in time. Human error can cause data to corrupt and a backup cannot be restored. This can cause days of downtime and many months of work that is lost and must be recreated.

Solution for Keeping Data Safe and Sound

So, how can your nonprofit organization prevent data loss and reassure donors that their personal information is safe? By moving to a cloud computing software solution. A cloud-based nonprofit software solution enables users to access data from anywhere on just about any device with an internet connection. Data is not stored on just one server but mirrored on many. If one server fails, then another server picks up where the other one left off.
