A free Walkthrough for one local nonprofit, every month.

Churches, theaters, and the small organizations that hold a place together rarely have room in the budget for a security consultant. Each month I give one of them the same half-day Walkthrough I sell to law firms and medical practices, free.

What the Walkthrough is

One visit, one clear scope.

Half a day on site. We walk your building together and I show you what I find as I find it. The scope is fixed, which is what keeps it free and something I can offer every month.

Included

  • A look at your wireless networks and how they're separated
  • A walk of the building the way an intruder would walk it: doors, latches, badges and readers, and what's reachable from the lobby
  • A brief after-hours look at the outside of the building
  • Live, authorized demonstrations of what opens and how. Nothing forced, cut, or broken.
  • A conversation about the habits that matter most: how money moves, who calls back to confirm a request, who holds a door
  • A short, plain-language report of what to fix first, written so a volunteer board can act on it
  • A half-hour call to walk you through it

Not included

  • Ongoing monitoring, management, or remediation labor
  • Formal compliance, audit, or legal sign-off
  • The deeper scoped assessments behind the Walkthrough. If one is warranted, I'll say so, and it's yours to decide.
  • A guarantee. It points you in the right direction. It isn't insurance against everything.

What I ask in return

  • A 20-minute debrief at one of your regular board meetings
  • One named staff contact who owns the follow-up
  • A signed written authorization before the visit. If you lease the space, the landlord or property manager signs too.

I also ask for permission to publish what I found as an anonymized case study. Never named, never identifiable. It's strongly preferred: organizations that agree get priority for the next open slot. Organizations that don't can still be scheduled, usually further out.

Why

Because the people who can least afford a breach can least afford a consultant.

I run Nightingale for small firms that can pay for careful work. The organizations I'd most hate to see get hit are the ones with no budget for any of this: a food pantry, a community theater, a small congregation, and a volunteer who set up the network years ago and hoped for the best.

One a month is what I can do well. If you're not a fit, I'll tell you and try to point you somewhere useful.

Pass it on

Know an organization that could use this?

Short enough to write on a card or say out loud at a board meeting. You don't have to be on staff to nominate them.

Request or nominate

Tell me about the organization.

Ask for your own organization, or nominate one you know. A few details so I can see whether it's a fit for this month or a coming one. I read every request.

If this month's slot is taken, I'll let you know and hold the request for the next one. Nominated organizations hear from me before anything is scheduled.
