2026 NFP SMB Cyber Resilience Summit Brisbane

The "SMB Cyber Gap" is no longer just a technical problem. For NFPs, it is a governance, funder trust, and supply chain issue. The data the sector holds is among the most sensitive in the country, from mental health disclosures and domestic violence records through to junior member details, blue cards, and medical forms held by volunteer-run sporting clubs. Attackers target it because they know the sector runs lean, not because anyone has been careless.

Three Federal Court enforcement actions in four years have confirmed that cybersecurity is a director-level obligation. NFP boards and club committees are not exempt, and funders are beginning to require evidence of cyber hygiene as a condition of grant agreements.

Cyber resilience was never an individual event. What has been missing is a shared playbook: one standard a club, its charity peers, its funder, its insurer, and its IT provider all recognise, so the work already being done finally counts as proof.
