About Us

Your partner in safeguarding your mission with clarity, care, and common sense

OUR MISSION

Cyberwise Solutions exists to help mission-driven organizations protect their people, data, and reputation – so they can stay focused on the work they’re called to do.

We bring together cybersecurity expertise, nonprofit experience, and a deep understanding of the realities of limited budgets and staff capacity.

OUR APPROACH
Relational, not transactional

We don’t just hand you a report and walk away. We get to know your context, your staff, and your constraints so our recommendations fit.

Plain-language clarity

We translate technical risk into clear, mission-focused impact: what it means for your people, your finances, and your credibility.

Right-sized security

We prioritize actions that meaningfully reduce risk without over-engineering your environment.

OUR FOUNDER

Jim Rispin

(Founder, Cyberwise Solutions)

Jim has spent over two decades in higher-education and nonprofit IT leadership, including roles overseeing cybersecurity, compliance, and infrastructure across various mission-driven organizations. He’s worked closely with church leaders, nonprofit finance teams, and small IT departments to build realistic security programs that provide tangible results. His experience spans day-to-day operational firefighting, long-term strategic planning, and guiding organizations through audits, vendor assessments, and moments of genuine uncertainty. Across all of it, he’s developed a steady, plain-language approach that helps mission-driven organizations strengthen security without losing sight of the people and purpose they exist to serve.
