Data Privacy
Protecting donor, beneficiary and safeguarding-adjacent information.
Not-for-Profit Organisations
Governance, risk and assurance for mission-driven organisations.
HazelGRC brings independent, board-level assurance to charities, trusts and not-for-profits — practical, proportionate and aligned to the public trust the sector depends on.
Industry Overview
Key governance, technology & regulatory context
Charities, trusts and not-for-profit organisations increasingly rely on technology to deliver mission, protect beneficiaries and account to funders — yet often operate with limited technology specialists at board and executive level.
Regulators, funders and beneficiaries expect proportionate but credible governance across cyber, data and technology. Trustees carry meaningful accountability for how these risks are managed, even when day-to-day capacity is stretched.
HazelGRC helps trustees, executives and mission-driven teams strengthen governance, manage risk and improve accountability — with work deliberately proportionate to the resource, mission and regulatory context of the organisation.
