Securing Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace for Nonprofits

A hands-on course for the person who looks after Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace at a charity – often an IT officer, office manager or operations lead rather than a specialist. Learn how to secure accounts and administrators, email, files and sharing, devices and apps, and how to monitor, back up and prepare for AI assistants, using the features available on nonprofit licences.

Who this course is for: Charity IT officers, office and operations managers, and volunteers or suppliers who administer Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. Basic admin console familiarity helps; no specialist security knowledge is required.
