Our mission depends on everyday choices

A compromised account can expose people, interrupt services, or divert money meant for community work. Security is part of how GFMN keeps its commitments. You do not need to be a technical specialist to notice something unusual, pause a risky action, and ask for help.

These responsibilities apply to directors, officers, employees, contractors, subcontractors, interns, and volunteers doing GFMN work, including remote work. Follow the controls for your assignment. A familiar name, urgent deadline, or senior title does not remove the need to verify a request.

Your next actions

• Use this course at onboarding and at least once every 12 months.
• Keep security decisions within your authorized role.
• Ask the Cybersecurity and Data Protection Officer (CDPO) when a request is unclear.

Remember: Pause when something is unusual. A short verification can prevent a much larger problem.
