Welcome to this special IRIS Risk Retina® focused on the nonprofit industry! IRIS Risk Retina is a service from the Cyentia Institute built on the highly-regarded Information Risk Insights Study (IRIS) series. The goal of Risk Retina is the same as that of the IRIS research—to offer a clearer focus on cyber risk through real-world data and rigorous analysis. To succeed in this mission, we’ve partnered with Advisen to leverage their Cyber Loss Data containing ~100,000 historical events collected from publicly verifiable sources. It’s the most comprehensive incident dataset we’ve seen and is used by many cyber insurers and reinsurers for that reason. Upon that solid foundation, we add our own supplemental research, data science techniques, and security expertise to provide the analysis presented in this IRIS Risk Retina.

Values-Aligned Philanthropy is a Council on Foundations project that digs into the issue of funding hate and extremism, documenting the problem and the response of the sector to date. This first phase report was created to support foundations concerned about this issue.
