The Importance of Regular Security Checkups
Social media platforms frequently update their features and settings, including security protocols. A quarterly review ensures your nonprofit stays protected against evolving threats.

Key Areas to Review

  1. Login Alerts: Enable notifications for any suspicious login attempts.
  2. Account Recovery Options: Verify recovery emails and phone numbers.
  3. Connected Apps: Remove any third-party apps you no longer use.
  4. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Ensure it’s enabled for all accounts.

Quarterly Security Checklist

  • Check for platform updates that may impact security.
  • Remove inactive or unauthorized team members from account access.
  • Test recovery processes to ensure they work correctly.

Tools to Simplify Security Reviews

Many platforms, such as Facebook and Instagram, provide built-in security checkup tools. Use these features to streamline your quarterly reviews.

By scheduling regular security updates, you’re proactively protecting your nonprofit’s social media accounts and ensuring a safe online presence.
