NGO Security Team
Welcome to the NGO Security Team homepage at CryptoRights —
we've been helping NGOs with Security since 1998!
[Summer 2007 News]
CryptoRights is pleased to announce the NGO Security Team, a reorg/update of our old Freeware PGP Help Team.
Who, What, Why & How...
The NGO Security Team provides information & communications security tech support to social justice NGOs (non-governmental organizations) through a Designated Security Contacts (DSC) program. Your organization selects one (or two) staff members as Designated Security Contact(s) and our Team works with your DSC to develop appropriate training, sensible policies and safer communications that manage risks for all of your users. While the Team works mainly with HQ-based DSCs, individual journalists, human rights fieldworkers, election officials and humanitarian aid workers can contact the team before travelling if they wish to handle sensitive information more safely while working in the field.
Designated Security Contacts with a question not already answered in our FAQ (still being updated), should first review the Procedures Page, and then use the Help Form there to send a question to the Team.

Additional Notes:
1. This online support service has been free since 1998, and is still free — but donations are always welcome. Thank you for your generous support!
2. Volunteers are always needed! Experienced security users with knowledge that would benefit social justice workers are encouraged to contact the team admin using our Feedback Form, setting the recipient appropriately. NGO users rely on your participation!
3. IMPORTANT NOTE! the nonprofit CryptoRights Foundation does not provide support for commercial versions of PGP. If you, your NGO or your company purchased the commercial version of PGP, please contact PGP.com Technical Support a more specific service for which you have already paid! Our freeware Team will help you with the freeware, open source encryption tools like freeware PGP, GPG (GNU Privacy Guard) software (generally PGP-compatible), public key management and other freeware encryption technologies. Also, by subscribing to CRF's PGP-USERS list, anyone can ask knowkedgeable members of the worldwide community of encryption users for assistance.
