Infographic: cyber security in the UK charity sector

In 2021, we asked UK charities how they felt about cyber security in their organisation – and the findings were illuminating. 

The report discovered, for example, that while 98% of charities believed cyber security was important, they only ranked it as their third biggest priority, after service delivery and fundraising.

The report also revealed that there is a disparity between how charities of different sizes address their cyber security needs. This is down to available resource but also likely a result of how smaller charities perceive the risk from cyber attacks.  

Micro charities were less likely to say they dealt with sensitive user data and one third  believed their organisation would be unaffected in the event of a cyber breach. 

These are just a few of the interesting findings from the report. In our handy infographic, we’ve outlined some of the key statistics in a handy infographic. You can download it below.
