About the Foundation

The Digital Society Foundation has worked for the public benefit since 2018. Our aim is to give more people access to digital technologies and services and help them develop the skills to use them safely.

Activities and projects

The foundation has taken part in projects on digitalisation in Bulgaria and on expanding internet access. This work helps more people use digital services and participate fully in society.

Through educational initiatives and partnerships with educational institutions and technology companies, we help people develop skills they can use at work and in everyday life.

Current educational activities

Our educational work covers information security, data protection and regulatory compliance. We look at how organisations decide who can access data, who is responsible for decisions and how teams respond to incidents.

In crypto-asset services, these questions are directly relevant to safeguarding client assets and reviewing transactions. In our specialist programmes, managers and professionals work through case studies on organising operations, assigning responsibilities and responding to risk alerts or service disruptions.

Programmes and enrolment

Completed courses

Digital Safety for Citizens and Small Organisations

A course for members of the public and teams in small organisations. Practical cybersecurity exercises covered recognising phishing attempts, checking suspicious messages and websites, and responding to breaches. Participants practised documenting an incident, assessing potential damage and reporting it through an appropriate channel.

Accessible Digital Services

A course for teams from municipalities and non-governmental organisations. Participants reviewed an existing online form and proposed changes to make it easier for people with disabilities and people with limited digital experience to use. Cybersecurity exercises covered collecting only the data needed, protecting it in transit and restricting access to submitted information.

Governance

The foundation is managed by Mr van Rensburg.
