No, at it's most basic level I mean a spy or insider threat. In the NGO contexts that I have seen that usually means someone who legitimately is works in an organisation but turns for the standard reasons. (More effective, faster and cheaper for an adversary that way) To a slightly lessor extent, that means someone from the outside who has been placed on the inside. (Less effective, longer and more expensive for an adversary that way). Sometimes both of these scenarios also include digital aspects, like stealing a USB drive or something but not always.
