Give A Day scheme

Cybercrime experts are offering to volunteer at charities for a day to give them a better understanding of data protection and information security and ways to combat cybercrime as part of the Give A Day scheme.

The scheme will pair up information security professionals from the finance, technology and government sectors with charities. Almost 100 IT experts have committed to take part in the programme, including chief information security officers and chief technology officers from UK organisations including Hewlett Packard and HM Revenue & Customs.

Charities will be matched with IT professionals for a day according to their needs, which might include training staff on information security awareness or providing guidance on data security.
