Charitable Donations

In the event of a data breach involving charitable donations, sensitive data at risk may include donors' personal details (names and addresses), financial information (bank account numbers and credit card details), transaction histories, and preferences related to donations. Recognising the implications of such breaches is critical, as they can compromise operational efficiency, damage reputation, and result in compliance failures.

    • Financial data (credit/debit card numbers, bank account details)

    • Donation transaction histories

    • Records of donor preferences and communication engagements

  • Potential Consequences for the Organisation:

    • Loss of donor trust leading to reduced financial contributions

    • Long-term damage to reputation, affecting future fundraising efforts

  • Importance of Understanding Breach Risks:
