Case Study: Ascendio achieves stronger security and donor trust in online fundraising with Armor

Strengthening Security & Service in Online Fundraising

Ascendio is a Texas-based partnership founded in 2003 that builds online fundraising tools for nonprofits and other organizations. Because it handles donations, e-commerce and sensitive donor data, Ascendio needed a PCI-compliant, high-performance cloud partner; previous providers fell short, resulting in security incidents, poor responsiveness and damaging downtime that threatened donor trust.

Ascendio selected Armor, whose multilayered defenses (IP filtering, DDoS prevention, application firewalling), real-time monitoring and PCI expertise addressed both security and compliance gaps. Armor’s hands-on onboarding and dedicated advocacy reduced risk, improved performance and restored confidence for Ascendio’s clients, letting the team refocus on product development and pursue new growth using Armor as its cloud partner.
