The Community Shield Program.
Providing pro bono strategic cybersecurity and architectural guidance to registered charities and non-profits in the United Kingdom.
The Guardian
of Integrity.
At Mtengwa Strategic Advisory, we believe that high-level technical resilience should not be exclusive to the corporate elite. Local charities and non-profit organizations often handle sensitive donor and beneficiary data but lack the resources to defend against sophisticated adversaries.
Through the Community Shield initiative, we dedicate a percentage of our principal advisory hours to ensuring the social sector remains secure by design.
"A breach in the non-profit sector doesn't just lose data; it breaks the social contract of trust. We are here to prevent that."
— Burhani Mtengwa, MBCS
