Cyber security can be difficult to prioritise when resources are stretched, but charities are increasingly being targeted by cyber criminals because they often hold valuable personal, financial and supporter data.

As part of our commitment as a social enterprise, the Cyber and Fraud Centre – Scotland is offering 10 free cyber MOTs to charities across Scotland.

Delivered by our team of ethical hackers between October to December 2026, each Cyber MOT worth £500 each, provides an independent review of your organisation’s cyber security and highlights practical steps to help strengthen your defences.

What’s Involved?

The Cyber MOT includes:

  • A cyber security assessment completed by your organisation.
  • A review by our ethical hackers.
  • A tailored report highlighting areas for improvement.
  • Practical recommendations to help reduce cyber risk.

Find out more about how our Cyber MOT works here.

Who can apply?

  • Registered Scottish charities.
  • Third-sector organisations operating in Scotland.
  • Organisations able to complete the Cyber MOT process between October and December 2026.

How to Enter

Applications are now open; please complete the form below and our team will be back in touch.

Successful applicants will be selected by the Cyber and Fraud Centre – Scotland team and notified in September 2026.
