CHARITIES & NONPROFITS

A five-tier practice for the Canadian nonprofit sector.

Tight budgets. Donor-data sensitivity. Board oversight. PIPEDA, Quebec Law 25, and PHIPA. The work is packaged into five board-defensible tiers — from a one-week posture snapshot to embedded leadership.

THE FIT

  • Tiers right-sized to charity budgets and risk profiles.

  • Board-ready output. Plain-language reports trustees and funders can act on, delivered as the Sentinel Brief™.

  • Compliance fluency. PIPEDA, Quebec Law 25, PHIPA, CyberSecure Canada.

  • Donor-data first. Privacy sits at the centre of every recommendation.
