💚 What steps are you taking to secure your fundraising?

Hey !

We understand that security is a top priority for you and your organization, and we occasionally hear questions and concerns regarding the security of WordPress itself. Let's explore some of WordPress security features, plus what you and your organization can do to safeguard information and maintain the integrity of your online fundraising.

Regular Updates: WordPress and GiveWP are regularly updated to address security vulnerabilities. Enable automatic updates to stay protected.
Trusted Plugins and Themes: Use reputable plugins and themes. GiveWP is rigorously tested and updated for security.
SSL Encryption: Secure your data with SSL encryption. Most hosting providers offer easy SSL implementation.
Strong Passwords: Use complex passwords and limit access to essential personnel to enhance security.
Backups: Regular backups ensure you can quickly restore your site if needed.
Security Plugins: Plugins like Wordfence and Sucuri provide additional protection with firewalls and malware scanning.

While robust WordPress security measures are in place, it’s crucial to be proactive about your site's security. As WordPress is open source, you have full control and ownership of your donor data, unlike third-party SaaS platforms. This ensures that your data remains private and secure under your management. This week, we'll explore the topic of security more deeply as well as what to do if you find your organization in a crisis, like a breach.

Cheers,
