You’re watching your employees… but are you watching your non-human identities?
Service accounts. APIs. Scripts. Background processes.
These “invisible users” often have more access than your staff — and no one’s monitoring them.
Ransomware groups know this. It’s how they move silently, escalate privileges, and stay inside long enough to cripple your systems from within.
🔐 Identity security isn’t just about people anymore.
At No Quarter Consulting, we help nonprofits secure what they can’t always see.


Why NHIs Are Security's Most Dangerous Blind Spot

23.7M secrets leaked in 2024 + 70% still valid from 2022 expose risks from unmanaged machine identities.

Firewalls and antivirus software alone, are little more than a speed bump for cybercriminals.😬

But protecting your organization from cyberthreats doesn't need to be difficult or expensive.💰

Below are some basic tips that should get you thinking about keeping your organization secure from cyber threats.

🎯IT risk assessment
This is checklist of compliance that your organization has to adhere to, like PHI or PCI etc. and how,
currently, your organization fairs against those compliance standards.
🎯User awareness training
This should be ongoing, so that employees are familiar with various threat types.
🎯Inventory management controls
Making sure that user workstations are secured when an employee gets a new machine or leaves the
organization is very important. This needs to be a documented process.
🎯Managed threat protection
Having antivirus or threat protection is the first step. We recommend utilizing 24/7 monitored threat
protection and remediation.
🎯Safeguards against removable storage devices
🎯Managed user profiles
Is the principle of least privilege adhered to? Is user access to stored data restricted based on user role? For
example, CFO should have access to files that an intern wouldn’t have access to.
🎯Established incident response plan
What is the defined process in case of a cyber incident? This needs to be documented and accessible to
everyone who could need it.

🚨 Every organization is a target for cyber criminals 🚨

Should you assume your employees know how to avoid cybersecurity threats?🤔

Too often business leaders tell me that "they trust their employees to make the right choices, so they don't need any cybersecurity awareness training."

The problem with cybersecurity is that your organization is only as strong as the weakest link.

You don't need EVERY employee to click a suspicious link or download something they shouldn't, it only takes ONE employee to introduce cybersecurity into your org.😱
