CRF's Client Service Philosophy

The goal of CRF's Client Services Group is to provide a unique set of services to NGOs in the social justice community by addressing their specific communications privacy and security needs. We define Client Services as those human-oriented processes and tools needed to assess the needs of those in the field; direct and inform product and service developments to meet those needs and; deliver these products and services to those clients.

CSG serves as the "interface" with our clients, keeping their needs at the forefront. CRF's Mission is to make both NGOs and security professionals safer and more effective in doing their work. As internal advocates for CRF's clients, the CSG's primary objective is to fine-tune CRF's work to best meet our clients' needs. CSG also brings issues from the user community and relays them to help guide the R&D Group's work in useful directions.
