What does managed IT for nonprofits and churches include?

The challenge
What makes IT different for nonprofits and churches
Nonprofits, churches and ministries have to protect sensitive information and keep essential services running while managing tight budgets and changing staff or volunteer access.
Donor data needs protection
Giving records and personal details require careful access control and sensible security safeguards.
Funders ask about security
Grant and partner questionnaires may request evidence of security practices and continuity planning.
Volunteers come and go
Accounts and permissions need to match each role and be updated when people leave.
Our approach
We start with your organization's risk, not your technology
Before recommending tools, we learn how your team works, what information you handle and how downtime or a security incident could affect the people you serve.
What's really at stakeA data incident can undermine donor trust, interrupt programs and take time and money away from the mission.

Compliance
Security requirements your IT may need to support
Your organization is responsible for determining which rules apply. We can support the technical safeguards, records and response planning behind your compliance efforts.
| Standard or requirement | What it may require | Technical support that may help |
|---|---|---|
| PCI DSS | Protection of payment card data when the organization stores, processes or transmits it. | Payment-platform guidance, restricted access and suitable network controls. |
| Funder and grant requirements | Security practices, written responses or evidence requested by a funder or partner. | Documented controls, risk review and accurate technical information. |
| HIPAA, where applicable | Safeguards for electronic protected health information handled by a covered organization or business associate. | Risk analysis support, access management, security controls and backup planning. |
| California Civil Code §1798.82 | Breach notification requirements may apply when qualifying personal information is acquired or reasonably believed to have been acquired by an unauthorized person. | Incident-response planning, logging, technical safeguards and support for response documentation. |
Applicability depends on your organization, services and data. CMIT Solutions can support technical controls and documentation; it does not provide legal advice or certify regulatory compliance.
Secure AI
Use AI without putting data at risk
AI tools can help with approved drafting, research and internal workflows, but sensitive donor, member or beneficiary data needs clear handling rules. We help organizations assess use cases, access controls and data policies before adopting AI tools.
