Technology Risk Review for a Donor-Funded Development Program
An international development NGO
The Results
Independent assurance delivered ahead of a major grant renewal deadline
A simplified control standard adopted across all country offices
No material findings in beneficiary-data or donor-fund controls
The Challenge
Ahead of a major grant renewal, a development organization needed independent assurance that the systems managing beneficiary data and donor funds across several country offices met donor expectations.
Our Approach
We performed an information systems assurance review spanning access controls, financial system integrity, and data protection practices across country offices, and worked with program teams to translate findings into plain-language, actionable recommendations.
The Outcome
The organization presented donors with a clean, independently reviewed control environment, supporting a successful grant renewal, and adopted a simplified set of control standards for future country office rollouts.
“Our donors needed independent assurance, not our own word for it. CyFort's review gave them exactly that, in language our program teams could also act on.”
