CyberSafe CSO Nepal

A concept for strengthening everyday digital resilience in Nepal's civil-society sector.

NepalUpdated 12 August 2026

The problem

Smaller organizations may manage sensitive work without dedicated security staff or practical support.

Why it matters

A preventable account or data compromise can disrupt services and put communities, staff and partners at risk.

What we know

  • Basic controls such as MFA and secure recovery practices can matter.
  • Recommendations must fit an organization's actual capacity.

What we don’t know yet

  • What risks organizations prioritize themselves?
  • Which assessment can be safe and proportionate?
  • What support model leads to sustained adoption?

Our approach

  1. 01

    Listen to organizations before designing an assessment.

  2. 02

    Define a minimal, practical security baseline.

  3. 03

    Plan a safeguarded pilot with expert review.
