MONITORING ACTIVE 
a non-profit cyber security initiative

Good security advice shouldn't depend on your budget.

White Spider Security is a non-profit that gives people, charities, and small organizations honest, free cyber security advice — no sales pitch, no jargon, no minimum spend.

how we help

Practical support, explained in plain English.

// free for individuals & charities. low-cost for everyone else. nobody turned away for lack of budget.

01

Free security check-ups

A friendly walkthrough of your accounts, devices, and website to spot the gaps that matter most — no scare tactics.

02

When something's gone wrong

If you've been hacked or scammed, we help you contain it, understand what happened, and get back on your feet.

03

Building it in from the start

Free guidance for new projects and small teams so security is baked in early, not bolted on after something breaks.

04

Community workshops

Free, jargon-free sessions on phishing, passwords, and everyday online safety — for staff, volunteers, and community groups.

05

Ongoing peace of mind

Light-touch monitoring and check-ins for organizations that just want someone keeping an eye on things.

our approach

The same four steps, every time.

// whether it's a quick chat or an ongoing relationship, we keep it consistent and honest.

01_listen

We start by understanding you

No two organizations look the same, so we take the time to understand what you actually have and how you use it.

02_steady

We calm things down first

If something urgent turns up, we help you deal with that immediately — the full advice can wait a day, the risk can't.

03_strengthen

We fix causes, not symptoms

You'll get a short, prioritized list of what to change first — written so anyone on your team can act on it.

04_stay_close

We don't disappear afterward

A follow-up chat to check things held, and an open door if anything new comes up down the line.

$ whoami

Nobody is coming to fix this for you. Not the software you didn't choose, not the vendor who sold it, not the org too underfunded to hire someone to check. So we check. Quietly, for free, and we tell you the truth about what we find — even the part that sounds like we found it before they did.

about us

Started because good advice was too hard to find.

White Spider Security is a non-profit run by security practitioners who got tired of watching small charities, community groups, and individuals get priced out of decent cyber security advice.

We keep our operating costs low and our advice free wherever we can, funded by low-cost work for organizations that can afford to pay — so that ability to pay is never the reason someone stays exposed.
