Umbrella Security

Umbrella is your one stop shop for digital and physical security information, plus resources to manage team security on a budget.

Umbrella helps you identify and respond to threats you face whenever you work, communicate, or travel. Get simple instructions to reduce your risk, even offline. Then make sure you act on them by following one of our checklists, or creating your own. Adapt your plans based on live threat alerts from trusted sources, or share incident forms with your team. Umbrella’s secure infrastructure is perfect for NGOs and people at risk, because it’s funded through grants and paid security training. All content and code is free to reuse under license conditions. You can even customise the content, or add your own. Ask how at info@secfirst.org.
