Civil Society Resilience

Helping small, at-risk civil society organizations (CSOs) to protect themselves, their operations, and their beneficiaries from digital threats.

In high-risk contexts, people rely on local CSOs for safety, services, and trusted information—but those CSOs themselves face mounting digital risks. The digital channels that enable their work also expose their operations, data, staff, and beneficiaries to targeted attacks. Most digital security support is designed for large organizations with IT teams, not small ones with limited resources. First built with Syrian partners a decade ago, our CyberSTAR approach helps at-risk CSOs strengthen digital security in practical, sustainable ways. Across Eurasia and MENA, we’ve helped 100+ CSOs transform their digital security postures, while advocating for a stronger digital duty of care in the development community.
