Website security is critical in today’s digital age, where breaches and cyberattacks are on the rise. For businesses and nonprofits alike, protecting sensitive user data is not just a legal obligation—it’s a key element of building trust with your audience. A secure website ensures that visitors feel safe interacting with your site, whether they’re browsing, filling out a contact form, or making a donation.
One of the most effective security measures is using SSL certificates, which encrypt the connection between the website and its visitors. Additionally, hosting your website locally—with a trusted, reputable hosting provider who uses robust security protocols—adds another layer of defense. This ensures that your site benefits from regular backups, updates, and server-side security features. It can also help fulfill your organizational mission, by avoiding payment to an organization whose values (and the types of sketchy sites they might host next to yours) compromise what you hold dear.
While a website can be secure from a technology standpoint, human error remains the most common source of website vulnerabilities. That’s why not sharing accounts, transferring passwords securing, implementing secure passwords, and using multi-factor authentication (MFA) for login access are essential.
