MORE Quarterly Alumni Skill-Building Sessions: How to Keep Data Secure

2022-04-20T12:51:11-04:00April 23rd, 2022|Events, Nonprofit Resources, Training Opportunities|

Has your organization formalized an approach to keeping your data secure? And by “data,” we’re not just talking about survey or focus group data, we also mean data collected from registration forms, intake questionnaires, donor records, and staff records. You don’t need an IT department or any fancy software to establish internal protocols for respecting and securing your organization’s data.

Join Sharp Insight and fellow MORE alums for the final in this year’s How To series: How to Keep Data Secure. We will review the phases of the data lifecycle and some key action steps that might be feasible for your organization. Data security might not sound like a fun topic, but we think you’ll enjoy walking through a real-world case study on the data lifecycle and Sharp Insight’s top data security actions that your organization can put into place right now.

Whether your organization is actively working on your internal data security processes or you’re just thinking about getting started with increased data security, this workshop is for you!

When: Wednesday, June 6, noon-1pm
Where: On Zoom. Click here to register.
