IT Services for Non-Profits in Chicago and Milwaukee

Why do non-profits need managed IT?

Non-profits have to do a lot with a little. Donated computers and volunteer help are kind, but they rarely add up to safe, up-to-date technology. You still need to reach the public and protect donor information. You need to keep running in an emergency and make good use of your data. A managed IT partner gives you all of that at a steady, planned cost. You get the same kind of expert help that large companies rely on.

Why security matters more than non-profits expect

Non-profits are a bigger target than most people think. There are about 1.8 million non-profits in the United States, and one report found that roughly half of non-profits faced a ransomware attack in a single year. Attackers know these groups hold valuable donor and financial data but often run lighter security. For a group without deep savings, one serious breach can be the end. That is why a plan matters.

How does working with Prescient start?

We keep it simple, and the first step is free:

1. Free consultation. We look at your current setup and talk through your mission and your budget.

Why is security so important for non-profits?

Non-profits hold valuable donor and money data. But they often run with lighter security. That makes them easy targets. Ransomware is the biggest danger, and it usually starts with a fake email. For a group without deep savings, one serious breach can be the end. A managed partner helps you find your risks and close the gaps. We train your staff and set up a recovery plan before trouble hits.

FAQs
