The ncss is committed to improving the online safety and security of the small business community through education, awareness and advocacy. Our goal is to enable and empower small and medium sized businesses to obtain cybersecurity services; assist them in understanding their cyber risk; and advise them on the type of protection needed.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Other-operating. 94% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
