Defenders Protection Initiative (DPI) has developed this Digital Security Toolkit to support human rights defenders and civil society organisations in strengthening their digital safety and resilience.
As defenders increasingly rely on digital tools to communicate, document abuses, and organise communities, they also face growing risks such as phishing attacks, account compromise, surveillance, and online harassment. This toolkit provides practical guidance to help organisations and individuals better understand these risks and adopt safer digital practices.
It includes simple recommendations, tools, and steps that defenders can use to secure their devices, protect sensitive information, and respond to digital security incidents.
This resource is intended for human rights defenders, civil society organisations, journalists, and community activists working in challenging environments.
