This episode was created in Notebook LM using a NIST based cybersecurity framework I created that focuses on nonprofits. This document outlines a cybersecurity framework for nonprofits, based on the NIST framework. It prioritizes the protection of various data types (member, donor, employee) and assets, emphasizing cybersecurity training and insurance. The framework addresses five core cybersecurity functions: identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover. Each function is mapped to specific organizational objectives and categorized by risk level (high, medium, low, or not applicable). The ultimate goal is to provide a structured approach to managing cybersecurity risks within nonprofit organizations.
