Is anyone watching your website?

We reviewed 3,425 nonprofit websites. Most of what we found came down to basics: a domain that wasn't set to renew, software nobody updated, a form someone set up years ago and forgot about. This free self-check covers the ten basics every small nonprofit should have, and what to fix first.

Inside it

  • The ten statements, printable, with room to score as a team
  • What to fix first, based on your score
  • A prompt for checking your own website with AI, looking only at what any visitor can see
  • The questions to send your web provider, already written
  • A caller check for phone and email requests, because cloned voices are coming
  • Where to get free help in Australia
Most website problems in small nonprofits don't need a skilled attacker. They come from basics nobody got round to.

For small teams without an IT person, and for the board members and funders who back them.

◆ Free first check

Want a second pair of eyes? I'll check your website for free.

Drop in your web address and an email. I'll look over the site using only what any visitor can see, and send you what I find in plain English. Nothing gets logged into, filled in or changed, so it isn't a penetration test.

If it turns up something that needs a deeper test, or you'd like help fixing it, that's the paid side: a full security test, consulting, and hands-on implementation with your team or your web provider. Talk about a full test ↗
