Identity for non-profit organizations

Lack of financial and human resources

A common challenge with most non-profit organizations is the lack of financial backing to be able to implement all the activities to achieve the organization's goals.

There is a strong focus that only a limited financial share should go to the administration. Among other things, this has consequences for the number of employees and how much can be invested in, for example, the IT infrastructure.

Varying workforce and memberships

With a varying workforce and memberships, it can be extra confusing, demanding, as well as unsecure to handle identities and accesses manually. It is, however, no less critical for a non-profit organization to have control over who has access to the company's data at all times, and what access they actually have.

Are the authentication solutions good enough when employees, members and volunteers register or log in? What are the routines around identity and access management at the end of the assignment or membership?

Occasional login and many user accounts

For some, it can be a long time between each login, especially for those who occasionally contribute to projects or who are members of an organization.

Costs associated with managing forgotten usernames and passwords are often significant. The problem is amplified if users have to deal with multiple user accounts.

Sensitive personal information

Non-profit organizations often handle sensitive information such as the overview of donations, members and donors, as well as credit card details, medical history and the like. For this reason, it is also critical for them to have good solutions in place to secure all data.

Most work in the field

Large parts of the employees and volunteers do not work in the office, but out in the field. They need mobile, user-friendly and secure solutions to quickly access necessary applications. This will also gives them more time to actually help.
