CHALLENGES
Why should nonprofits care about network security?
NordLayer combines VPN, zero trust, threat protection, and compliance controls into a single cloud-native platform your IT team can manage from one dashboard.
Unsecured internet access
In the current era of widespread digital connectivity, unsecured internet access poses a significant threat to any organization. Employees accessing sensitive data over unprotected networks can unwittingly expose the organization to data breaches and cyberattacks, compromising both operational integrity and client trust.
Vulnerable cloud resources
As nonprofit organizations increasingly rely on cloud services, ensuring secure access to these resources becomes critical. Without robust cybersecurity measures, sensitive data stored in the cloud is at risk, potentially leading to significant data loss and legal ramifications.
BYOD policy challenges
The convenience of bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies is undeniable, but it also brings unique network security challenges. Ensuring secure access from personal devices is essential to protect nonprofit organizational data from potential threats, such as malware and unauthorized access.
Risks for remote teams and volunteers
Employees and volunteers working remotely or while traveling can introduce additional security challenges. Using unsecured public Wi-Fi and accessing organizational resources from different locations and devices can increase exposure to cyber threats, making secure remote access essential for protecting sensitive data.

REVIEWS
Here’s why nonprofits choose NordLayer
Now I have massively more free time. I used to manage employee VPN connections manually—and it was a pain—because it wasn’t an automated system unlike NordLayer.

IT Specialist @CMHA Alberta South Region
I’m really enjoying that we’ve been able to consolidate two decent tools into one that works well . It makes it much easier to maintain, make any updates or changes as it’s all centralized in one place.
