What IT policies do you need? What are the best ways to create them? How do you roll them out to all staff?

Wednesday, May 15, 2024 at 3pm Eastern, 12 Noon Pacific



Community IT Senior Consultant Nura Aboki and guest Jeff Gibson from Build Consulting will take your questions on where to find nonprofit IT policy templates, how to overcome barriers and modify the templates to your organizational needs and strategic goals, and how to get the stakeholders on board and roll out training on the new policies to all staff.

If you are feeling paralyzed about starting this project to create or revise your policies, join us for this discussion and get a roadmap on how to move forward. Learn about making IT governance work for your nonprofit.

Is your nonprofit protected?

In our work with clients over the twenty years we have been providing outsourced IT services, Community IT has frequently run into clients with no Acceptable Use Policy at all. In addition to protecting your organization from employee misuse of equipment, IT governance policies are strategic documents that need regular review to stay in alignment with your nonprofit’s goals and tactics.

If your organization has no IT governance documents or they haven’t been updated in a while, please join this webinar to learn how and where to start creating these vital documents. Our panelists will also share their experience in successful strategies to roll out these policies to all staff, and update your training on these policies to be fun and engaging. Your organization’s protection from cyber crime and multiple legal issues rests on your staff understanding and following your IT policies. Don’t get caught without policies you can rely on and refer back to when situations with cyber attacks or disgruntled employees arise.

As with all our webinars, this presentation is appropriate for an audience of varied IT experience.

Community IT and Build Consulting are proudly vendor-agnostic and our webinars cover a range of topics and discussions. Webinars are never a sales pitch, always a way to share our knowledge with our community.
