Charity Commission & Fundraising Regulator

Cybersecurity built for charities, protecting donor data, Gift Aid records and beneficiary files.

Charities depend on fundraising CRMs, donation pages and Microsoft 365 (often donated licences). HackGuardX continuously scans your website, email domain, cloud and code for security vulnerabilities, so you can fix weaknesses before they become costly breaches. Enterprise-grade protection without the enterprise price tag.

Your business is a target. Hackers only need one weakness.

A single cyberattack on one of the UK's charities could expose donor data, Gift Aid records and beneficiary files, halt day-to-day operations and trigger regulatory reporting, fines and lasting reputational damage. Small firms are not too small to be targeted. Automated attacks scan every UK business for an easy way in.

Why charities are targeted: Charities hold sensitive beneficiary data and donor payment details, often with limited IT budgets and volunteer access.
