SOC 2 Compliance & beyond: Gravyty’s commitment to security and data privacy

Imagine an alum’s or donor’s personal information falling into the wrong hands. The consequences can be devastating, not just for them but for your organization. As an educational institution or nonprofit, you don’t just handle data; you safeguard trust. And, in today’s digital age, protecting that trust has never been more critical.
At Gravyty, we understand how critical it is to build trusted relationships with your community of support. That’s why we take steps to meet the highest standards in data security and privacy.
Why data privacy matters
Think about the vast amount of personal data your organization processes daily: donor interactions, payment transactions, and email communications. This data is the backbone of personalized engagement and innovative fundraising. But with great power comes great responsibility.
When personal information isn’t adequately protected, the risks are enormous: identity theft, targeted scams, and even large-scale cyber threats. The financial, reputational and operational fallout can be devastating. Protecting data isn’t just a legal obligation; it’s about upholding the trust of every donor, alum, and stakeholder who believes in your mission.
Data security isn’t just about firewalls and passwords, it’s about nurturing relationships, ensuring compliance and safeguarding the very foundation of your organization’s success.
Gravyty’s privacy-first approach
At Gravyty, we’re not just complying with standards; we’re setting them. Our privacy-by-design approach ensures that data protection isn’t an afterthought—it’s embedded in every level of our platform.
Here’s how we make that happen:

- Purpose limitation: Data is used solely for its intended, legitimate purpose. No exceptions.
- Privacy-preserving technologies: We employ advanced techniques that shield personal information at every step.
- Continuous assessment: Our commitment to privacy isn’t static. Regular evaluations ensure our practices remain robust against evolving threats.
