Security

Giveall takes your security as seriously as we take ours.

Our Anti-Money Laundering and Data Protection requirements are unparalleled. 

Charity Administrators are required to use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) through using Google Authenticator when accessing their account. This ensures a much higher level of security when accessing the charity bank account details. More details on Multi-Factor Authentication can be found under the Help and FAQs.

Your money is secure at all times. All donations are immediately placed into a client trust account and then deposited into the charity’s own online bank account upon clearance.

We go much further and we are making every effort to help charities go further by giving them free software and solutions that not only improve their operations but protect their organisation and supporters as well. Part of their package, these solutions not only protect them from data loss and the loss of confidence in them that goes with that but also from the risk of prosecution and hefty fines. 

Charities (and the people who support and rely on them) are often woefully exposed. We’re trying to put a stop to that as part of our service to them. Here’s just one example:

While most platforms incorporate a payment system which secures the actual payment processing via a digital SSL certificate, they do not tend to protect any of the other key components of the management information system.  For example, when you first create a user account and enter your user details, the data submission is often insecure.  Furthermore, when you have completed your payment for the item that you are purchasing, you then receive an invoice or an acknowledgement of receipt by standard email, which contains all of your personal information. This is insecure. In our view, this is unacceptable and security should also be applied to the:

• capture of personal information;
• processing and storage of information by the processor;
• communication of sensitive data between the parties;
• storage of the information received by the recipient; and,
• sharing of information by the recipient with colleagues and/or third parties.

Here’s another example: how often have you seen a “Contact us” form on a website that is not secured (check for the HTTPS in the address bar. if it’s not there it’s not a secure page). When a charity registers with Giveall they receive a Formidable SSL Certificate, worth over £500 that secures the page immediately, for free. They have therefore not only protected themselves and their supporters but they’ve also saved themselves a lot of money (not to mention risk) by joining Giveall.

Consequently, Giveall, in conjunction with Formidable Solutions and Formidable CA embarked on the development of a comprehensive range of security products and services, which are available free to all Subscribing Charities as part of their registration with Giveall.  These comprise:
