Why Do You Need Church Data Security?

Church data security is often overlooked, but is at risk due to the complexity of computer hackers, phishers, and spammers. Securing your physical structure, but overlooking data security is a risk your church cannot afford.

Whether your church is using Twitter of Facebook, your church needs protection. Just as in the physical world, the cyber world has dangers too.

Are your pastor and staff safe from threats from the cyber world?

Like physical security, cyber security is no less a liability to have a plan for. Failing to have this plan can and will affect you in many ways. From cyber terrorism (this includes child hunting by pedophiles), to spamming and denial of service, the threat is real and your church needs to make sure that you have a plan in place and someone willing to step up and take on the responsibility of protecting the church’s cyber space.

With this information you are on the way to starting that process. From containing viruses and worms, to handling phishing expeditions, to protecting the pastor and staff, this manual will guide you through some proven professional steps to help guard against that threat.

About the Author T.G. Sampson

In early 2009, I had received a number of phone calls and emails requesting information and resources on securing the church website, emails and networks. While there are a number of resources for this information, I wanted to publish a manual written by a Christian author for Christian churches. With this in mind, I went to a close friend who is very strong in the Christian faith, and who is also charged with maintaining primary web interfaces and security for one of the nation’s largest military schools and base. In addition he has had experience as a solution provider with a world leader in IT Solutions, EDS.

Terry has been involved in the world of computers and IT for 15 plus years. While having breakfast at a small group meeting, I mentioned the need to increase security on church websites. Terry immediately volunteered his help in putting together a basic manual that can be used by all churches in understanding and implementing protective measures. This manual is written in an easy to read style and will not overwhelm you in technical jargon.

If you have a church computer network interfaced to the internet, have a website for the public to view, or wish to maintain accountability for the subject matter viewed on the church computers, I highly recommend Terry’s manual.

Do you want to convince you church leadership your church needs security? Do you know what to tell them or what you need to demonstrate a church safety or “eyes on” team are necessary? Jack Justice, co-founder of Church Security Alliance, has prepared a 45 minute presentation where he reviews recent church violence incidents. He presents timely facts, so church management makes an informed decision.

This DVD is perfect for anyone interested in starting a church security ministry, but is having difficulty convincing someone this is a good idea.

Here is a note from Jack:

Often we are asked why would a church feel the need to start a Safety or Security Ministry.
Safety and security at churches and other houses of worship have become increasingly important issues in recent years. There have been a number of examples of church security incidents and shootings in the last year (2008-2009) that underscore the importance of security while at a house of worship.

Do you have a duty to protect the church family and visitors?

Do you provide reasonable protection for those in the facility?

Do you do background check for staff and volunteers?

There is a tremendous amount of published incidents on church violence, sexual misconduct, robberies and other incidents, we can no longer say “it can’t happen here!”.

If you aren’t sure what to say or how to present the information, let Jack Justice do it for you!

The Church Security Fast Startup Kit Has A Ready Made Manual and Printed Forms to Help Guide You to a Successful Ministry and Lower Your Church’s Liability.

Time is so important, so why spend it writing a new policy and procedure manual? You can spend time researching, planning, and wondering if your plans will succeed…but why do that when we have already done the work for you?

You don’t want to spend time reinventing the wheel.

The importance of having your church’s policy and procedures in place BEFORE an incident happens is too critical. Knowing who is going to handle each responsibility, how it is going to be done, and documenting exactly how it was handled is expected in our litigious society.

How does your church assess threats? How would your fellowship respond to a bomb threat? How can your security and safety team care for the body with an appropriate medical response? What if a tornado occurs during a worship service? How should the team respond? Or worse, what if a church shooting occurs, do you have a plan in place?

Failing to have a plan in place can be disastrous for your church. Contingency planning, training, and documentation are essential for reducing church liability and really protecting your congregation.

That is why the Church Security Alliance created the start up kit. The CD-ROM contains sixteen practical forms, presentations, and documents your church needs to do the job right.

Simply place the CD in your computer’s disc drive, navigate to the form, manual or presentation you need, PLACE YOUR CHURCH LOGO or NAME in the appropriate place, and you have an instant document.

Recognizing each church has specific concerns, you simply adjust the policies and procedures to meet your specific needs, desires, and state laws – saving precious time and energy (less time in meetings and more time with your family).

Here is what you get when you purchase the start up CD:

• Security Team Manual V2.2
• Team Startup Presentation
• Church Management Presentation
• Security Team Planning and Setup
• Safety and Security Team Ministry Volunteer Request
• How to Interview Prospect Team Candidates
• Church Risk Assessment
• Building Security Review Sheet
• Security Team Application
• Sample Medical Response Plan
• Incident Report Log
• Medical Team Incident Report
• Bomb Threat Information Sheet
• Bomb Threat or Suspicious Package Procedure
• CCW in Church
• Use of Force Chart

When you purchase CSA’s start up kit, you have full access and permission to change the documents for your church and team members.

Verbal skills can make or break you. Saying the wrong thing to the wrong person can make a bad situation worse and can lead to violence, injury or a lawsuit. Dealing with a suspicious person, disgruntled spouse, or intoxicated person is the most likely scenario a church security team member may have to face.

Whether you have ushers performing security duties or a full safety team, understanding how people perceive you when they are upset is a critical skill. There are key phrases your people must know to avoid throwing fuel on the fire, and to gain voluntary compliance from unruly or upset people.

How can you lovingly confront inappropriate behavior and remain tactical at the same time? Proper verbal communication is the first step and can often diffuse a serious situation.

Showing compassion, avoiding verbal pitfalls, and exercising the correct communication phrases, anyone can de-escalate an emotional crisis and keep it from spilling over to the rest of the church community.
