Funraise Prioritizes Nonprofit Sector Security by Attaining PCI Level 1 Compliance

@Funraise, the nonprofit sector's premier fundraising and CRM platform serving thousands of organizations worldwide, announces its achievement of PCI Level 1 compliance, the highest standard of payment security in the industry. This certification, validated by independent compliance assessor Sikich, reinforces Funraise's commitment to protecting donor data and financial transactions for nonprofits.?

Funraise’s Commitment to Nonprofit Security

Safeguarding our personal information is not just important—it’s a necessity. And as a leading player in nonprofit technology, Funraise is deeply committed to ensuring robust security measures are in place to protect sensitive donor information.

By attaining PCI Level 1 compliance, Funraise demonstrates a strong commitment to safeguarding donor information and reinforcing trust within the nonprofit community. This achievement signals a growing awareness of the security challenges nonprofits face and highlights the importance of robust compliance measures in addressing these threats.

Dedication to Safeguarding Donor Data

Donor data is sacred in the nonprofit world, and Funraise knows the stakes are high. That's why Funraise adheres to PCI-DSS compliance, a rigorous security standard designed to secure systems against unauthorized access to cardholder data.

Reinforcing Trust within the Nonprofit Community

Trust is the foundation of the nonprofit community. By prioritizing donor security, Funraise isn't just implementing security features, but reinforcing trust by safeguarding the data that fuels nonprofits' missions.

To back that up, Theresa Mott, Senior Cybersecurity Consultant at Funraise's independent compliance assessor, Sikich , had this to say about Funraise's approach to realizing this difficult achievement:

"Funraise's dedication to excellence throughout the PCI Level 1 compliance process was truly impressive. Their team demonstrated exceptional knowledge and a proactive approach to security, consistently going above and beyond to ensure the highest standards were met to prioritize the security of their client's data and strengthen their overall security posture."

In summary, Funraise isn't in the compliance game to keep up with security standards. Funraise is serious about setting a standard for how nonprofits can trust and rely on secure systems.

What Funraise's Leaders Are Saying

Funraise CEO and Co-founder, Justin Wheeler , puts it perfectly:

"Achieving PCI Level 1 compliance is a significant milestone for Funraise and the nonprofit sector we serve. We understand the critical importance of data security in maintaining donor trust and enabling nonprofits to focus on their missions. This certification reflects our unwavering commitment to providing the most secure fundraising platform possible."

Jason Swenski , Funraise CTO and Co-founder, adds:

"Our team has worked tirelessly to ensure that Funraise's infrastructure and processes meet the highest security standards. PCI Level 1 compliance not only protects our clients and their donors but it also reaffirms Funraise's position as a nonprofit technology security leader."
