Benefits

Rest Easy That Your Donor Data Is Safe

The relationships you have with your donors depend on the trust they place in your organization. They trust that you’re not only good stewards of their dollars but also keeping their personal and payment information safe and private. GiveSmart is PCI and SOC 2 compliant so you can focus on your mission, not your security risks.

GiveSmart is PCI compliant, meaning we use firewalls, anti-virus software, and encryption to secure donor payment data at every step. Strict access controls, password protocols, and regular vulnerability testing ensure your donors’ information is never at risk.
GiveSmart undergoes regular independent audits and maintains rigorous controls around the security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy of donor data—so you always know your platform meets the highest standards.
Accurate representation of what you and your supporters can access and change, as it relates to personally identifiable information. Our logs and records make it easy to demonstrate accountability to board members, regulators, and donors.
Risk management policies are regularly reviewed and intended to keep mitigation top of mind, with well-thought-out, approved processes for any changes to affected systems, such as IT updates.

Data processing integrity standards are enforced at every point in the transaction lifecycle—from donor registration to campaign closeout—so your financial records are always accurate and complete.
Independent Audits & Oversight

Third-Party Verification You Can Share with Confidence

Independent audits and oversight of GiveSmart’s processes and controls affirm our ongoing compliance with PCI and SOC 2 standards, giving you documentation you can confidently share with donors, board members, and regulators.

"Thanks to GiveSmart’s Event Page and its easy-to-use modules, we were able to put our event together quickly and in a way that our staff who aren’t tech savvy could really understand."

"From 2024's event to 2025, my stress went from a 10 to a 2. The ability to enter… just a quick paddle raise… was like night and day. We really wanted to invest in doing a smooth event. GiveSmart set us up for so much success."

"What I like about [GiveSmart] is that things don't fall through the cracks, unlike when you have multiple spreadsheets and multiple places that people need to look for information...if it's automated it just happens, and GiveSmart allows us to have most of it in one place ...  that has been really essential knowing that it's all in one place."

"The first time that we used the software, we had such a ridiculous return on the silent auction alone. ...one year we had raised $30,000 total in that, and then the next year we used GiveSmart, we had raised $70,000 before we even walked in the door that night ...this is working, this is what we need it to be."

FAQ

PCI compliance means GiveSmart has developed a comprehensive security process—including firewalls, encryption, and regular vulnerability testing—to prevent, detect, and respond to any possible security breaches. It ensures that your donors’ payment information is handled according to the Payment Card Industry’s rigorous security standards.
SOC 2 compliance means GiveSmart regularly reports on and is independently audited against high standards for security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. For your nonprofit, this means you can trust that the platform holding your donor data is held accountable to an external, objective standard—not just self-reported.
Noncompliance with PCI standards can result in significant financial fines, loss of the ability to process card payments, reputational damage, and in severe cases, legal liability. Choosing a PCI-compliant platform like GiveSmart protects your organization from these risks.
GiveSmart’s SOC 2 compliance extends beyond payment security to cover all personally identifiable donor information. This includes access controls, accurate data representation, transaction integrity at every stage, and regular risk management reviews—so donor data is protected throughout its entire lifecycle on the platform.
Yes. GiveSmart undergoes independent audits that produce documentation affirming our compliance with PCI and SOC 2 standards. You can reference this compliance as part of your organization’s own governance and transparency practices when communicating with board members, major donors, or grant-makers.
