// Compliance Standards

REGULATORY & GOVERNANCE
REQUIREMENTS FOR CHURCHES.

Churches face a distinctive compliance landscape spanning IRS tax-exempt obligations, PCI DSS for online giving, child protection standards, and congregant data confidentiality. Simply IT addresses each requirement with appropriate technology controls.

Microsoft
Microsoft Nonprofit Eligibility
Churches holding 501(c)(3) status qualify for Microsoft nonprofit pricing — providing deeply discounted Microsoft 365 licensing for staff communication, document management, and email.
PCI Security Standards Council
PCI DSS for Giving Platforms
Churches accepting online tithes and donations via credit card must comply with PCI DSS requirements — including secure payment processing and proper handling of member financial data.
Industry Best Practice
Member Data Protection
Church management systems contain sensitive member information — addresses, family data, giving history, and counseling notes — requiring access controls and encryption to protect congregant privacy.
FBI / Cyber Division
Business Email Compromise Prevention
Churches are specifically targeted by BEC attacks impersonating pastors to redirect wire transfers and gift card purchases. Email security and staff training are the primary defenses.
IRS
IRS Tax-Exempt Compliance
501(c)(3) churches must maintain financial records supporting tax-exempt status — technology systems must support accurate giving records, financial statements, and document retention.
Florida Division of Corporations
Florida Religious Corporation Law
Florida religious corporations must maintain organizational records per state law — with technology implications for record storage, board minutes, and corporate document management.
Child Protection
Child Safety & Background Check Systems
Churches operating children's and youth ministries require secure systems for background check records, volunteer credentials, and child protection policy documentation.
Congregant Trust
Pastoral Care Confidentiality
Pastoral counseling records and sensitive congregant communications require the same confidentiality controls as professional counseling — secure storage and access controls are essential.
