Why Proton for Business Matters for Social Impact Organizations
Privacy as a Foundation
When working on sensitive issues—whether it's human rights advocacy, community organizing, or supporting vulnerable populations—protecting your communications isn't just about cybersecurity. It's about safeguarding the people you serve. Proton's end-to-end encryption ensures that only you and your intended recipients can access your data. Not even Proton can read your emails or files, providing a level of protection that mainstream providers simply cannot match.
Swiss Privacy Protection
Based in Switzerland, Proton benefits from some of the world's strongest privacy laws. For organizations working across borders or dealing with sensitive information, this Swiss jurisdiction provides a neutral, secure haven that's free from mass surveillance programs.
Management Made Simple
Proton's admin panel makes it easy to manage your team without needing technical expertise. You can add users, control access permissions, allocate storage, and enforce security settings—all from one centralized dashboard. The Easy Switch tool helps you migrate from Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 with step-by-step support from Proton's team at no extra cost.
Cost-Effective Solutions
Proton offers exclusive discounts for nonprofits, with over 15,000 nonprofit organizations already trusting the platform. The Business Suite combines email, calendar, password manager, VPN, and cloud storage under one account, helping organizations reduce costs while enhancing security. Some organizations have reported reducing their digital tool costs by up to 70% after consolidating to Proton.
