Rose Guard

Robust Security Available to All

We are a national non-profit with the mission to empower at-risk individuals, groups, and organizations with essential knowledge and skills in physical, technical, and cyber security. We believe that robust security should be accessible to all, regardless of budget constraints and income level, especially as lower income individuals are heavily targeted by threat actors.

Collectively, cyberattacks have severe and long-term impacts on communities already on the margins of society. These attacks are not just a technological concern—they represent a growing civil rights crisis, disproportionately dismantling the safety and security for vulnerable groups and reinforcing systemic barriers of racism and classism.

$4.88 Million.

The global average cost of a single data breach in 2024 —
a 10% increase over last year and the highest total ever.

This figure includes both direct costs, such as fines and
lawsuits, and indirect costs, such as reputational damage.

Security industry experts estimate that a cyber security assessment can cost between $5,000 and $25,000 for most small businesses and a thorough physical security assessment can run between $3,600 and $15,000 depending on the size of the facility.

Keep in mind, these figures only cover the actual security assessment, not the price of the solutions to the problems it identifies.
