Program

The Catalyst Cyber Clinic provides free cybersecurity support to under-resourced non-profit and other community organizations across Canada by connecting them with trained cybersecurity consultants.

The Clinic is staffed by trained graduates of Rogers Cybersecure Catalyst programs. These professionals hold industry-recognized certifications in cybersecurity and are supervised throughout the engagement by tenured industry experts.

A team will assess your cybersecurity needs and deliver a Cybersecurity Action Plan with low-cost, easily implemented improvements.

The Cybersecurity Action Plan contains prioritized recommendations for your team to implement. It is designed to immediately enhance your organization’s cybersecurity posture, and gives your organization the knowledge and tools to safeguard your core assets and most sensitive digital information.

Eligibility & Application

Your organization must:

  1. Be a nonprofit, charity, or Indigenous community organization
  2. Deliver community programs in Canada
  3. Be operational for at least one year
  4. Have low cybersecurity maturity, and the capacity to implement recommendations
  5. Show leadership commitment to improving your cybersecurity

The Catalyst Cyber Clinic is in its pilot stage and will open for applications soon.

Applications are assessed based on the organization’s cyber maturity, resourcing, leadership commitment, and geographic representation. Your organization must also commit to implementing the recommendations provided.

How It Works

All activities are completed virtually.

The engagement between your organization and the Consultant team lasts approximately 4-6 weeks. We understand that your time is valuable: the most time-intensive periods for your team members will be completing the initial questionnaires, and participating in 2-3 interviews with the Consultants.

Overall, organizations should expect to dedicate 8–10 hours total, including meetings and providing access to documents and key staff.

All Clinic services to the client are provided free of charge.
