secriq for churches

Your pastor won't text asking for gift cards. Make sure your whole team knows that.

secriq protects everyone who can log into your congregation's systems, paid staff and key volunteers alike, from impersonation scams, phishing and stolen donor data. Built for ministries, priced for ministry budgets.

This is already happening to churches like yours.

One of the best-known scams aimed at churches starts with a text or email that appears to come from the pastor or another ministry leader. It asks for gift cards for a member in need. It works because it uses something churches do well: trusting the person who appears to be your pastor.

The same trust reaches further than gift cards. Donor databases, member records and financial systems sit behind the same inboxes these scams target.

And the person with access often is not on payroll. Your treasurer, your tech team lead and your children's ministry coordinator hold sensitive systems too. Most security training is built for employees, not congregations, so the gap usually goes unaddressed.

Trust is the target

Scammers imitate pastors and ministry leaders because your team is quick to help.

Volunteers hold the keys

Anyone who can log into your systems counts, paid or not.

Donor data is personal data

Your congregation trusted you to protect it. Have you checked whether it is already on the dark web?

Three ways secriq protects your congregation.

Training and practice for the scams churches see

secriq Learn gives each person short, plain-language courses. secriq Phish sends realistic simulated phishing so your team practices spotting a fake request before a real one lands.

Dark web monitoring for staff and donor emails

secriq Watch checks for exposed credentials and alerts you when they appear. You get an ongoing answer, not a one-time check.

Records your board and insurer ask for

secriq Policy keeps your policies in one place with tracked approvals, and standard reporting shows what safeguards are in place. Included from the Essential plan.

How it works.

1

Set up in about an hour

Upload a CSV of your people. No IT department required. Include paid staff and key volunteers: treasurer, tech team, ministry coordinators.

2

Everyone trains at their own pace

Short, non-technical courses that fit around ministry and work schedules.

3

You get ongoing protection

Phishing simulations, dark web alerts and a simple report you can bring to your board or your insurance renewal.

Pricing built for congregation budgets.

Most churches budget annually, so annual pricing is available on every plan. Monthly billing is available too.

The church rate

Churches and religious congregations qualify with their EIN and a short attestation of congregation status. No IRS determination letter is needed.

Essential: $7.95 per user per month. Professional: $11.95 per user per month. The Congregation plan already reflects this rate. Minimum monthly fees still apply.

Verify your church

A user is anyone with access, not just paid staff. Your treasurer, tech team lead, communications volunteer and children's ministry coordinator count the same as your office administrator. Annual plans are paid in advance and are non-refundable, and save 16.7% off the monthly rate.

Questions churches ask.

Does this cover volunteers, or just employees?

Both. Anyone who can log into your systems is a real target for the same scams, whether or not they draw a paycheck. Your treasurer and tech team volunteers are just as exposed as your office administrator, and they count toward your user total the same way.

What if we only have a few paid staff?

Count your volunteers too: anyone with access to your donor database, bank account, church management software or social accounts. A church with three paid staff often has several more people in roles like this. The Congregation plan covers up to 10 users, staff and volunteers combined, for a flat $99 a month.

We are not a registered 501(c)(3). Do we still qualify for the church rate?

Yes. Churches are automatically tax-exempt and do not need a determination letter. We just need your EIN and a short attestation that you are a church or religious congregation. Verify your church.

Do we need an IT person to set this up?

No. Setup takes about an hour with a CSV upload of your people, usually through your office administrator or executive pastor.

Our budget for next year is already set. Can we start later?

We can align your start date with your fiscal year. Talk to us about timing your subscription to your next budget cycle.

Will this help with our insurance renewal?

Our reporting is designed to give you a clear, documented answer when your insurance carrier or board asks what cybersecurity safeguards are in place.

Is there a free trial?

We do not offer a free trial. We do offer a free human risk report: it shows your exposed credentials, how your team handles a simulated phishing email, and a plain-language plan to fix what we find.

Protect your congregation before the next scam email lands.

Start with a free human risk report. Setup takes about an hour, and the Congregation plan starts at $99 a month.
