Wavefront Security

Wavefront Security is a California-based organization founded in 2023 by David Jones, who brings eight years of experience in fintech security. The organization's core mission is to provide at-cost cybersecurity services to nonprofits and policy organizations that are pursuing high-impact charitable goals, particularly in areas such as AI safety, biosecurity, and global catastrophic risk reduction. Wavefront focuses on security fundamentals: implementing strong login policies, establishing document access control systems, and securing communications infrastructure for small organizations that often lack dedicated security staff. Their clients include AI model safety evaluators, biosecurity groups, and policy organizations working on existential risk issues. The organization operates on a subsidized model, enabling organizations that could not otherwise afford professional cybersecurity services to access them. Open Philanthropy (now Coefficient Giving) recommended a grant of $206,464 to Wavefront Security to support this subsidized service model. David Jones is also engaged in broader AI safety research, including work on the impact of AI on cybersecurity and participation in AI safety hackathons through Apart Research. Wavefront is actively scaling its operations to maximize impact across the high-impact nonprofit sector.
