Cybersecurity built for foundations.
Your 990-PF is public. Attackers read it too. Grant disbursements, endowment operations, and trustee identities make foundations a wire-fraud target with a nonprofit's staffing. TitanDef shows you where you're exposed and what to do about it.

What's targeting foundations.
Reported BEC/EAC losses in 2025 across all sectors. Payment and grant disbursement is the primary attack surface.
Private foundations must file Form 990-PF, disclosing assets, trustees, grants, and vendors — read by attackers before staff.
Of breaches involved a third party in the Verizon 2026 DBIR, up 60% from the year before — grantees, custodians, and advisors are part of your attack surface.
High-value, lean-staffed, and publicly documented. A single spoofed grantee email can move a disbursement before anyone notices.

Sounds like this quarter?
Three moments we hear from foundation leaders — and the shortest honest answer to each.
“A grant payment was nearly redirected by a spoofed email.”
Wire and payment-verification controls, assessed and documented.
“Our auditor asked who oversees cyber for the endowment.”
Trustee-level governance evidence, on request.
“A trustee's name showed up in a phishing campaign.”
Public-profile exposure mapped, with a shrink plan.
