Free Briefing · 2026 Edition

Guarding Her Trust

The 2026 Executive Briefing for Pregnancy Help Organizations — a plain-language readiness briefing, with a twelve-question self-assessment you can bring to your board.

The women you serve trust you with information they may have told no one else. Guarding that trust changed faster than most boards realize — and the sharpest risks are not the ones vendors advertise. This briefing lays out, in plain language and from the public record, what actually happened between 2024 and 2026, what it means for organizations like yours, and exactly what to do about it at nonprofit scale.

Prefer to start right now? Take the free 12-Point Privacy & Security Self-Assessment — it scores in one board meeting, entirely in your browser.

Running a pregnancy medical clinic? The free v45 AI and Clinical Risk Readiness Toolkit adds model AI-governance policies and a sixty-five-question readiness assessment your board can adopt.

Delivered by email as a PDF and EPUB. May be shared with your board and leadership in its complete, unmodified form. Sent once, on request — requesting it subscribes you to nothing and adds you to no mailing list. Educational use only; not legal advice.

What’s inside

  • The HIPAA question almost everyone gets wrong. Most centers are not HIPAA covered entities — HHS’s Office for Civil Rights confirmed as much in writing in 2024 — and the error runs in a direction most boards find surprising. Read the free plain-language guide.
  • The words on your website can hurt you. Why complaints filed with attorneys general in ten states target what organizations said about privacy, not their firewalls — and what careful organizations say instead.
  • What insurers, accreditors, and funders now expect. Cyber-insurance answers are warranties; AAAHC standards reach information handling directly; ECFA accreditation has no data-security standard at all.
  • The five threats in plain language. Phishing, ransomware, vendor breaches, targeted exposure, and AI leakage — with defenses that require decisions and consistency, not an enterprise budget.
  • The twelve-question self-assessment. Score your organization in one board meeting, with an honest reading of what your score means.
  • A right-sized program on a nonprofit budget. The five-part structure of a proportionate, documented, continuously maintained program.
