The SCVO trustees network in partnership with Aberdeen Standard Capital presents a series of good governance webinars.
Good governance is vital to ensure a sustainable future for your organisation, and these webinars offer a chance for you to hear from experts and share your own learning and experience.
Cyber resilience has become increasingly important as the world of work has moved online. This webinar, with Alison Stone, SCVO’s Cyber Resilience Co-ordinator, will look at what is cyber security and why charities are specifically at risk, and offer useful hints and tips for trustees to ensure their organisation is cyber resilient.
After the challenge and change of 2020, where trustees learnt how to govern in a pandemic, we are now looking forward to rebuilding and recovery. Join us to hear how to steer your organisation effectively whilst staying true to your core purpose and organisational values.

A Cyber Scotland Week Event, hostedby Alison Stone (Cyber Resilience Co-ordinator, SCVO) with guest speakers.
Cyber Essentials is a brilliant accreditation to demonstrate that your organisation takes cyber security seriously. The CE certification process will help you to protect your organisation against a whole range of the most common cyber attacks.
This helpful session is aimed at charities considering undertaking CE certification AND at organisations already working through the process as part of SCVO’s CE grant scheme. We will be joined by a third sector organisation who has already completed their journey to full CE certification. Also providing helpful advice will be IASME, the CE accreditation body, and M3 Networks who are IT Managed Service experts. All will share their experiences of how you can achieve this worth-while badge. Plenty of time to ask the experts questions, pick their brains and share your thoughts.
This event is open to anyone to attend but is particularly suitable for third sector organisations. This event will be hosted as a Zoom meeting and is free to attend.
