WealthEngine Data Platform and Security Enhancements

CEO and Executive Database Updates

WealthEngine released its newest SaaS platform update, version 9.4. This release refreshes WealthEngine's rich database, which now boasts over 171 million philanthropic and charitable donation records with half a million records being added monthly. More so, this release updates 324,000 officers, directors, executives and CEO profiles to help clients reach wealthy upwardly-mobile prospects.

Clients use WealthEngine to gain wealth-related insights that help identify and segment their most promising opportunities, by uniquely scoring every individual. For nonprofits, identifying donors with a history of giving to related causes or who have had momentous "life events" is critical for their survival in a post-COVID fundraising environment. Identifying accredited investors with specific cash-on-hand or net worth tied to their real-estate property ownerships are also strong indicators of wealth. These insights often become the backbone that enables an organization to know more about their prospects and make informed decisions that propel client expansion.

"With in-person fundraising dramatically curtailed due to COVID, WealthEngine's insights helped us target a select group for a virtual gala. We raised $25,000 in 60 minutes from 50 people," said Mandi Fleiner, Director of Philanthropy & Communications, Northern Nevada HOPES.

Cloud Security Enhancements with SOC 2 Type II Certification

As part of WealthEngine's ongoing activities in platform security, the company today also rolled out its latest security enhancement: multi-factor authentication (MFA). Using freely available authenticator apps, clients can now have an extra layer of security to login to their account, in addition to their username and password.

The additional protection layer is a unique code that a user enters after typing in their password. This code changes every 60-seconds and is available via numerous authenticator apps that can be installed on their mobile device. Using MFA significantly reduces the risk of an unauthorized party accessing a client's account.

Another component of WealthEngine's security offerings include end-to-end encryption of client files transmitted for processing. For years, WealthEngine has enabled secure file transfer protocol for encrypted file transmissions. This secure process encrypts both the transmission channel and the file, often referred to in security circles as the payload. After a secure key exchange with WealthEngine, clients can encrypt files before sending them over WealthEngine's encrypted file submission network, essentially creating a dual-encrypted transfer of data from clients to WealthEngine.

Improved User Experience, Performance and Scalability

Finding accurate information quickly is now easier with improvements to WealthEngine's user experience. The newly designed tagging, filtering and sorting features provide an easy way to segment donors or clients. When combined with industry's only Donor Pyramid Modeler, available to nonprofits within WealthEngine's platform, it creates an automated way to segment current and future donors and prospects.

"WealthEngine's consistent and customer-first innovation cycles enable us to deliver on one major release every quarter," says Elizabeth Schiffmann, Vice President of Product Management at the company. "This ability to quickly respond to the evolving needs of data-driven customers is transforming how fundraising and marketing are executed. I'm pleased with our attentive focus on security in this release by adding MFA. Our clients benefit from our leadership in providing innovative solutions that offer data security and leverage machine-learning for predictive analytics."

WealthEngine's Open API provides access to WealthEngine's proprietary wealth intelligence database using any donor management (DMS) or customer relationship management (CRM) system.
