Aura provides IT services for non profits including IT support for charities, churches and conservation organisations. We provide managed IT services and support that sustains and protects their IT systems, serves extended teams and aligns IT with organisational aims.
Non profit organisations and charities face a combination of challenges that require good IT services and support. Not just surviving and serving in a tough economic landscape but using IT effectively and securely to do so. Being attractive targets for cyber-criminals is a constant worry.
Small, under-resourced teams need to work hard and efficiently, yet aged, under-funded or inconsistent IT doesn’t help them. Internal IT capability is usually limited. While data lives in a range of silos within a patchwork of cloud and on-premise systems and storage.
Proactive 24/7/365 monitoring and maintenance for IT systems and support for your extended team.
Strategic IT planning via exploring organisational, infrastructure and data needs to create affordable, achievable plans.
Robust system and data protection for your organisation, systems, members, supporters and donors.
Helping you migrate to and use Microsoft cloud applications and environment effectively and for maximum ROI.
Providing modern UC solutions that foster collaboration and communication.
Planning for the worst to ensure vital community and charity work continues uninterrupted.

Budgetary constraints must not prevent not for profit and charities protecting themselves in an environment of ever-increasing threat.
Aura helps organisations by bringing deep cybersecurity expertise and services that identify vulnerabilities and protect data on a 24-hour basis via an extended detection and response approach that delivers constantly updated protection against attacks.
We routinely work with our managed IT services customers to help them improve not just their technical security but build cybersecurity aware cultures.
Aura enables and supports complex workforce teams in charities and other organisations, enabling home and field-based teams to access business systems seamlessly, communicate effectively and share data and documents securely. We support both migration to cloud and optimised use of Microsoft 365 applications and enable ultra-secure remote working via remote desktops powered by Microsoft Azure. We help to identify and mitigate hidden risks from use of personal devices and unmanaged connectivity.
Absolutely. We understand how non-profit and charities must work in line with Charity Commission governance and HMRC financial regulations, as well as comply with Public Procurement frameworks when purchasing IT. All charities must also comply with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act. We are experts in helping customers do this and meet their wider cybersecurity responsibilities. Fundraising also adds further compliance requirements. Ensuring effective IT governance, strong communication, tight data management and high cybersecurity standards are all mission critical.
Definitely. Aura’s Technology Roadmap process is designed for this. After understanding your charitable goals and wider aims we can assess your current IT approach including both infrastructure and data environments. We work closely with your leadership, staff and volunteers to understand their IT needs, and help identify and quantify risks in the current model before providing detailed feedback and a practical, achievable plan.
