Process / Step 4

Security that protects the people who trust you.

Rigorous checks and GDPR-minded data handling are built into every CharityVibe application from the start.

Secure by design

Security is not a final tick-box. It is part of the architecture, development and release process.

Security testing & GDPR-minded handling

Strong protection, scaled for non-profits.

Independent-style security checks

We assess your application architecture, endpoints and database configuration with automated static and dynamic scans and vulnerability checks.

Proactive defences

Checks cover SQL and NoSQL injection, cross-site scripting, rate limiting and secure access tokens to help prevent unauthorised data access.

Privacy by design

We build data workflows around minimisation, encryption, role-based access, audit trails and practical retention policies.

For charities requiring the highest level of assurance or funder compliance, full independent penetration testing can be commissioned through CREST-authorised security partners, delivering an accredited audit report against real-world cyber threats.

We use TLS 1.3 for data in transit and AES-256 encryption at rest, collect only what the service needs, and use granular role-based access so staff and volunteers can work safely. Native audit trails and retention policies support responsible governance and right-to-be-forgotten requests.

The result

Confidence to serve and grow.

  • Sensitive records protected with encryption in transit and at rest.
  • Staff and volunteers see only the information their role requires.
  • A clear foundation for trust, compliance and responsible growth.
