About ImageQuest and

Non-Profit IT & Cybersecurity Compliance

If your nonprofit processes donations, facilitates event registrations, stores and/or transfers “personally identifiable information”, or collect information on preferences and habits of donors, patrons, newsletter subscribers, etc. it’s time to get serious about taking steps to address cybersecurity risks. Many nonprofits collect and store sensitive personal information that is protected by law as confidential. When there is a breach of the confidentiality of that data, it poses both a risk for the individuals whose data was disclosed and for the nonprofit that will now potentially be subject to

liability for the breach. It makes sense, therefore, for every nonprofit to – at a minimum – assess the risks of a data security breach, and protect its data from unauthorized disclosure.

ImageQuest is your premier technology services partner, providing comprehensive Managed IT, Compliance, and Cybersecurity services to clients in Tennessee, Kentucky and across the U.S. Our world-class team of savvy, experienced managers and engineers support your technology and help your organization thrive in a cyber-secure data environment.

Non-Profit FAQ

IT & Cybersecurity Compliance

Are there a Cyber-security Compliance laws for Nonprofits?

While there is no set specific standard for cybersecurity, nonprofits are required to at least use the same well-established, risk-based approach to cybersecurity management that most business organizations use. Nonprofits can always rely on the best practices found in the financial world as they perform risk analysis, conduct internal assessments and allocate resources to ensure that their security strategies work.

Why do nonprofits have to stay compliant?

Compliance laws are put in place to protect the interests of the public and prevent organizations from abusing the nonprofit system. Since nonprofits are exempt from federal and state taxes and have access to public funding, they are held to a higher standard. Following compliance is a vital component to the day to day operations of a nonprofit organization.

What are the penalties for non-compliance?

Even though Nonprofits are tax exempt they still must submit the appropriate tax forms for their organization (990 series) this form gathers pertinent information regarding the income and expenses of a nonprofit. Failure to do so incurs the following fines:

$20 usd per day fine
Automatic revocation of 501(c)(3) status if the organization fails to file for 3 consecutive years
Banned from receiving grants or large donations
