Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations

The Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO) is the national membership organisation for the voluntary sector in Scotland. Its mission is to champion the role of voluntary organisations in building a flourishing society and support them to do work that has a positive impact. SCVO is passionate about what the voluntary sector can achieve with its community of 3,000+ members and supporters. The team believes that a thriving voluntary sector should be at the heart of a successful, fair and inclusive Scotland.

SCVO has appointed a cyber resilience co-ordinator, who works closely with Scottish Government through the CyberScotland Partnership, to support Scotland’s voluntary organisations in their journey to becoming more cyber resilient. It runs a programme of work to help ensure the sector has the relevant information and support needed to effectively prioritise cyber risk, protect against common threats and prepare for cyber incidents.
