Nonprofits & NGOs. Donor-grade security for mission-driven organisations under adversarial pressure.
Humanitarian organisations, advocacy nonprofits, and foundations run on donor trust, beneficiary confidentiality, and lean IT budgets — while remaining a high-priority target for state actors and ransomware crews. Safeguard ships a free tier for qualifying organisations and an on-device option for casework that cannot leave the laptop.
Four forces pressing on mission-driven organisations.
Donor expectations, grantor diligence, and adversarial threat models are converging on the same continuous evidence requirement.
Donor PII protection
Donor names, addresses, gift histories, and major-gift correspondence are some of the most sensitive records a nonprofit holds. A single breach erodes the trust that funds the next decade of programming.
GDPR and DPDP for international operations
Humanitarian and advocacy organisations routinely operate across borders. Beneficiary data collected in the EU, the UK, or India is governed by the rules of the collection country — not the rules of HQ.
Sanctions-related due diligence
OFAC, UN, EU, and UK sanctions lists move every week. A nonprofit that procures software, ships goods, or transmits funds without continuous sanctions screening is one update away from a violation.
Civil-society targeted attacks
State actors target NGOs to map dissident networks, intercept beneficiary communications, and intimidate staff. The threat model is hostile, well-resourced, and routinely under-discussed in fundraising decks.
Capability mapped to mission and budget.
Free tier for qualifying small nonprofits
Accredited nonprofits below a defined operating budget access a free tier with the core SBOM, AI-BOM, and vendor-screening capability. Security should not be the line item that gets cut for programming.
On-device Lion for confidential casework
Casework, beneficiary intake, and advocacy correspondence run through Lion on a local device. Nothing sensitive leaves the laptop, and the AI capability stays usable in air-gapped field offices.
Sanctions screening on vendor SBOMs
Every vendor SBOM is screened against OFAC, UN, EU, and UK lists on every refresh. Sanctioned suppliers buried five hops deep in transitive dependencies surface before procurement signs.
Sovereign deployment for at-risk regions
For organisations operating in surveillance-heavy or conflict regions, the entire stack runs inside the country boundary on customer-controlled hardware. No outbound traffic, no shared keys.
Frameworks the platform is mapped to.
Pre-mapped control narratives and evidence in the formats your grantor, donor, and country regulator already accept.
A typical deployment for a mission-driven org.
Free-tier cloud control plane, on-device option for beneficiary data, sanctioned-vendor screening pipeline, and a donor-facing trust packet.
- 01
Cloud tier with free allowance
Qualifying nonprofits register through an accreditation flow and receive a managed cloud tier with included capacity for SBOM, AI-BOM, and vendor screening. Upgrades are pro-rated by mission size.
- 02
Beneficiary data on-device option
Programmes handling beneficiary data — refugee casework, GBV intake, health records — get on-device Lion with no telemetry. The cloud control plane only sees aggregate posture, never content.
- 03
Sanctioned-vendor screening pipeline
Every SBOM ingested is matched against current OFAC, UN, EU, and UK lists. A sanctioned maintainer, dependency, or hosting provider raises a finding before it can be funded with grant dollars.
- 04
Donor-portal trust packet
Read-only trust portal exposes signed SBOMs, breach history, sanctions-screening lineage, and audit posture to major-gift donors and grantors — replacing the manual due-diligence PDF.
Four risk surfaces your trustees and donors already worry about.
State-actor targeting of civil-society orgs
Advocacy and human-rights organisations face nation-state intrusions designed to map dissident networks, intercept communications, and erode operational confidence. The adversary is well-resourced and persistent.
Donor-data leakage
Donor PII, gift histories, and major-gift correspondence live in CRMs that often share vendors across the sector. A single CRM compromise erodes the trust that funds the next decade of programming.
Ransomware against humanitarian operations
Food, shelter, and medical operations cannot pause for a recovery window. Ransomware crews increasingly target the back-office logistics of humanitarian responders for exactly that reason.
Sanctioned-vendor exposure
Sanctions lists move weekly. A nonprofit using a sanctioned hosting provider, plugin, or dependency — even unknowingly — is exposed to legal, donor, and reputational consequences.
What is actually hitting civil society this year.
State-actor spear-phishing of NGO staff
Tailored phishing operations targeting board members, country directors, and major-gift officers — designed to land long-dwell implants.
Sovereign deployment for at-risk regionsDonor-portal compromise
Compromised donor portals leak gift histories, contact details, and major-gift correspondence — sometimes for months before detection.
Signed SBOMs across donor-facing systemsBeneficiary-data leakage
Casework systems and intake forms leak sensitive beneficiary identifiers through unvetted plugin integrations and poorly scoped AI tools.
On-device Lion for confidential caseworkRansomware against humanitarian operations
Logistics back-offices for food, shelter, and medical responders are an increasingly common ransomware target.
Eagle reachability + KEV prioritisationSanctioned-vendor SBOM exposure
Software supply chains can contain sanctioned maintainers or hosts five hops deep — only continuous screening catches the drift.
