Foundations
Secure, optimised systems, and supported people
In the pursuit of delivering outcomes to beneficiaries, many for-purpose organisations experience technology as a burden not an enabler. We’re invested in changing that.
The groundwork for-purpose leaders should be looking to lay for their organisation is twofold:
• Robust cyber security
• A reliable, integrated, secure technology platform to deliver impact from
These are the basic essentials, to combat cyber threats and empower your team.
A well-performing technology platform minimises unwanted distraction and enables your team to focus on delivery. And streamlined helpdesk support alongside, if things do go wrong, is invaluable.
Cyber security is a perpetual hot topic in modern, digital life - for organisations and individuals, it really is a question of when, not if, some kind of cyber-attack will occur. Yet getting to and maintaining recognised Australian cyber protection standards (known as the Essential 8) is well within reach for every for-purpose organisation. humanIT’s mature, contextual approach considers not just the technology but also those that use it – your Board, beneficiaries, and team.
