Your Donors Trust You. We Protect That Trust.
Nonprofits hold donor records, health data, payment information, and beneficiary files — all in one place, often without a full-time IT team to defend them. Attackers know it. Black Bottle IT delivers Managed IT and Security built specifically for mission-driven organizations like yours.

Why Non-profits Are Targeted
You Store Everything Attackers Want
Cybercriminals know nonprofits run lean — small staffs, volunteer help, limited security budgets, and systems packed with donor and beneficiary data. You’re not too small to target. You’re exactly the right size.
🎣 Phishing Attacks
Staff and volunteer inboxes are targeted with fake invoices, grant approvals, and donor lists designed to steal credentials and gain access to your donor database. Email threats against nonprofits rose 35% in a single year, with credential phishing surging more than 50%.
🔒 Ransomware
Encrypting donor records, program data, and financial systems — then demanding payment your budget was never built to absorb. Ransomware attacks on nonprofits have doubled year over year, locking organizations out of the data their missions depend on.
👁 Donation & Payment Fraud
Attackers skim credit card data directly from donation forms and payment pages as supporters give. Accept credit card donations? PCI DSS 4.0 applies to you — and a compromised donation page turns your most generous supporters into victims of fraud.
💳 Access Sprawl
Volunteers, seasonal staff, board members, and former employees with lingering logins across your CRM, email, and fundraising platforms. Open, collaborative cultures mean more doors for an attacker to try — and shared credentials that go unmonitored for months.
Managed IT + Security.

PCI DSS & COMPLIANCE
Your Donors’ Data Isn’t Optional. Neither Is Protecting It.
Accept credit card donations? PCI DSS 4.0 applies to you — regardless of your size or budget. Non-compliance fines after a breach can hit $5,000–$100,000 per month. That’s mission money. Add state privacy laws, grant-maker security requirements, and HIPAA if you handle health data, and the compliance picture gets complicated fast.
But a breach doesn’t just cost dollars. It costs donor trust. And donors who don’t trust you with their data stop giving.
Black Bottle IT aligns your security program to the standards that apply to your organization — keeping you protected and prepared, not scrambling after the fact. The fix is simpler than you think: MFA, staff and volunteer training, tested backups, and a response plan. All budget-friendly.
