Technology Strategy
Centered on Safety & Security

We help organizations make technology decisions that protect their people, data, and mission—from cybersecurity assessments to AI governance to vendor evaluation. Because your technology should advance your work, not put it at risk.

Deep expertise in security, human rights, and organizational resilience

Organizations around the world rely on technology for everything: education, connection, advocacy, fundraising, and safety. Yet many lack the resources, frameworks, and guidance to make smart, safe decisions about technology. Meanwhile, digital threats are intensifying—from data breaches and targeted attacks to AI governance challenges and platform vulnerabilities.

K'lal exists to ensure organizations aren't just reacting to digital threats, but proactively building technology strategies that strengthen, rather than compromise, their missions.

Our team brings decades of experience in digital security, human rights, and organizational resilience. We believe that effective technology strategy requires both technical expertise and a deep understanding of the communities and causes our clients serve.

We serve civil society broadly, with a focus on specific communities and sectors.
