Last week, I had the privilege of joining the Manx Newscast to discuss a topic that’s close to all our hearts: protecting island charities from growing cyber threats. It was a powerful reminder of how essential digital safety has become, even for organisations driven by mission and goodwill — not profit.

Why Island Charities Need Stronger Cyber Defences

Charities are more vulnerable than many realise. Many collect and store sensitive donor, volunteer, or beneficiary data — making them attractive targets for cybercriminals. Rising ransomware incidents have already shown how devastating successful attacks can be for small organisations that simply don’t have the resources to recover quickly.

JTG’s Contribution: Free Security Software — Licences Offered

As a response, Just Technology Group is offering a total of 500 free licences for our security tool, exclusively to Isle of Man charities. Our aim is simple: empower these organisations with visibility into their vulnerabilities and a straightforward path to patching them — without any financial barrier.

JTG is proud to support the island community by helping to build digital resilience, ensuring charity work isn’t derailed by preventable cyber threats.

What We Discussed on Air

During the interview, I unpacked:

• Why ransomware is increasingly a problem for charities.
• How our security tool works — automated scans, prioritised alerts, easy-to-use dashboards.
• Practical steps organisations can take now to improve cyber posture, even before deploying tools.

In Summary

For charities on the Isle of Man and beyond:

• Awareness isn’t enough — tools and support must be accessible.
• Digital protection is a form of care, safeguarding your mission and the people you serve.
• Community resilience starts with collaboration — and we’re committed to being part of that.

If you’re connected with a charity that could benefit from these licences, please point them in our direction via JTG.im.
