Nonprofits and NGOs run on passion, volunteers, and tight budgets. They also hold sensitive data — donor records, beneficiary information, field operations — that makes them attractive targets. Attackers know many charities cannot afford enterprise security. The numbers are stark.
Why NGOs face disproportionate risk
Research consistently shows nonprofits are targeted at roughly three times the rate of comparable for-profit organisations. Yet around 60% lack even a basic security budget. A ransomware hit does not just encrypt files — it can halt food distribution, expose vulnerable populations, and destroy donor trust built over decades. For organisations whose mission is impact, a security incident can mean lives affected, not just invoices delayed.
- Higher targeting: NGOs seen as soft targets with valuable data and weak defences.
- Budget gap: Most cannot fund a SOC, MDR contract, or dedicated CISO.
- High-impact data: Beneficiary and donor PII under GDPR and similar frameworks.
- Operational dependency: Downtime directly interrupts humanitarian and social programmes.
How the free licensing program works
Dolutech offers full SOC AI Agent licensing at no cost to verified nonprofit organisations. The process is designed for speed: submit an application describing your mission and organisation, pass verification (typically within 48 hours), and deploy immediately. No watered-down tier — the same multi-agent detection, autonomous response, compliance tooling, and Threat Network access that paying customers receive.
We believe organisations changing the world should not choose between their mission and their security posture. If you are a registered NGO, charity, or nonprofit working in education, health, human rights, environment, or community development, you may qualify.
Apply through the nonprofit program page — tell us about your mission and let us help protect it.
