IT Support for Charities & Non-Profits
Protect Your Mission, Not Just Your Data
Charities and non-profits hold some of the most sensitive data around, donor records, beneficiary details and financial information, often with a fraction of the IT budget of a comparable commercial organisation. AOIT provides managed IT support that takes your data protection responsibilities seriously while respecting the reality of restricted, grant-funded budgets.
IT Support Built for the Third Sector
Charities face real cybersecurity risks and real regulatory obligations, without the budgets that commercial organisations use to address them. We help close that gap.

Find out moreWhy Charities Are a Growing Target
Cybercriminals increasingly view charities as an attractive target, not because they hold more money than commercial businesses, but because they often hold valuable data with comparatively weak defences. Donor payment details, beneficiary case records and financial systems all carry real value to an attacker, and a charity’s public profile and trust-based relationships make it a good target for phishing and invoice fraud.
At the same time, most charities are working with IT budgets set by trustees who are, understandably, prioritising service delivery over infrastructure. This creates a real gap between the level of risk a charity faces and the resources available to address it, a gap that grant funding rarely covers directly.
AOIT works specifically within this reality. We help charities understand and prioritise the risks that matter most, implement Cyber Essentials-aligned protections that satisfy funders and regulators, and do it all within a budget that reflects what a charity can actually spend, not what a corporate IT department would.
Grant and Donor Data Protection
We help you meet your data protection responsibilities to donors and beneficiaries, supporting the trust that your funding and reputation depend on.
Cyber Essentials for Charities
Many funders and partners now expect Cyber Essentials certification. We guide you through the process and help you maintain it year on year.
IT Support That Understands Restricted Budgets
We know your IT spend has to be justified to trustees and often tied to specific funding, and we build recommendations that respect that reality.
Working Alongside Your Trustees and Funders
We understand that IT decisions in a charity rarely rest with one person. Trustees, finance managers and sometimes funders all have a stake in how money is spent, and IT investment needs to be justified in those terms, not just on technical merit.
We can help put together clear, jargon-free explanations of what we are recommending and why, so you can take a confident case to your board or funder rather than a technical proposal nobody outside IT can properly evaluate.
