It’s time we talked about something serious.

Something that has been making the SafeStack team sad for some time.

Security isn’t inclusive

It's simply not available to everyone.

Security is a growing area of concern for businesses of all shapes and sizes, but in the not-for-profit sector it’s often treated as something that you’ll get to eventually, after you’ve saved the world.

Because charities and social good organisations are typically driven by volunteers, and work with the leanest of budgets, very few ever get round to securing their online world, yet an attack on such an organisation can have a devastating effect.

If this doesn't fill you with sad feelings then you're clearly a robot.

At SafeStack, we can't change the world, we're just 10 people.

But we can do something to try and help those organisations that are trying to “do good” in the world.

Security Big Day Out 2017

On 22nd November 2017, SafeStack will be running a giant free workshop for charities, non-profits and organisations that will give basic security survival skills to those organisations in need….

For Free.

That's right.

Nothing, nada...zilch

Our advisory team are heading to Wellington and giving a day of free training and help to as many charities and non-profits as we can …

There is no catch

We're not here to sell.

We are here because we want to give back.

To honour our commitment to community and to help those who don’t have the resources to help themselves.
