Security Awareness Training That Actually Stops Breaches

Most breaches dont start with a hacker. They start with an email.

We deliver hands-on security training that turns your team from your biggest liability into your best defense — real-world phishing exercises, password manager setup, MFA rollout. All tailored for non-technical staff. On-site across the Gresham area or remote via Zoom.

91% of all breaches start with a phishing email. Yet most small businesses rely on free online training modules that get skipped, ignored, or forgotten within a week. That leaves you exposed to ransomware, financial fraud, and stolen client data — without even knowing it.

What's Covered in Our Program

Comprehensive, hands-on topics — no fluff, no slide decks.

📧

Phishing Detection & Email Safety

We teach your employees to recognize phishing emails before they click — even the ones crafted to look like Microsoft, their bank, or a password manager. We cover spoofed sender addresses, misleading URLs, fake urgency tactics, and social engineering beyond email.

🔑

Password Management & MFA Deployment

We show your team how to set up enterprise password managers so everyone uses strong, unique credentials — no more reused passwords. Then we deploy Multi-Factor Authentication across every critical account as an extra layer of defense.

🎭

Social Engineering Recognition

Attackers don't just use email. They call pretending to be IT, text (smishing) with fake package notifications, and walk in the front door claiming to need access. Our training covers every social engineering vector your team might encounter.

🏠

Secure Remote Work Practices

WiFi hotspots, personal devices, shared screens in video calls — remote work opened new attack surfaces. We teach your distributed team how to stay secure whether they're at their desk or working from home.

How It Works

Three steps from vulnerable to defended. Simple, no surprises.

1

Security Assessment of Your Environment

We start by understanding what you have — your current tools, teams size, and existing security posture. This shapes the training content so it's relevant to everything your team actually uses.

2

Custom Training Session(s)

Based on the assessment, we build focused workshops covering the topics that matter most to your business. Live, interactive, no jargon. We use real examples from Gresham-area businesses like yours.

3

Ongoing Phishing Simulations & Refreshers

Training doesn't end after one session. We run simulated phishing campaigns quarterly, track improvement, and provide annual refreshers — keeping your team sharp against evolving threats.

Frequently Asked Questions

Honest answers about security training for small businesses.

How much does security training cost?

We price based on team size and format. A typical session for a 15–20 person business in Gresham includes hands-on workshops, simulated phishing tests, and follow-up materials. Contact us for a custom quote — or get started with our free security assessment first.

Do you provide training for non-technical teams?

Absolutely. Most of our clients have zero IT staff. Our training is designed specifically for everyday office workers — no jargon, no assumption of prior knowledge. We use real examples from your industry so the material sticks.

How long does a typical training session last?

A standard workshop runs 45–60 minutes live with your team. For larger organizations (50+ people), we can run multiple concurrent sessions or offer semi-recorded formats where you set the pace.

What if someone still falls for a phishing test after training?

This is normal — and it's exactly why we do ongoing simulated campaigns, not one-and-done seminars. Our program tracks clicking rates over time so every session brings measurable improvement. Most clients see an 80%+ reduction in phishing clicks within 90 days.

Do you offer compliance-aligned training (HIPAA, PCI-DSS)?

Yes. Several of our clients serve healthcare and financial services. Our modules align with HIPAA security awareness requirements, PCI-DSS mandate 6.5.8 (security awareness training), and NIST SP 800-50 guidelines. We provide completion documentation.

Can you train our remote or hybrid workers?

Absolutely. We conduct live sessions via Zoom or Microsoft Teams for distributed teams with the same engagement as in-person. Everyone gets the same materials and exercises regardless of format.

What topics beyond phishing do you cover?

Beyond phishing, we include: password managers & MFA setup, social engineering beyond email (phone/smishing), secure remote work practices, data handling & classification, physical security awareness (badge/lockup), incident reporting procedures, and safe use of personal devices for work.

Do you provide certificates or documentation?

Yes — we provide attendance records and completion certificates suitable for compliance audits. For clients needing HIPAA or PCI documentation, we can customize the deliverables to match your auditor's requirements.

How often should employees receive refresher training?

We recommend quarterly simulated phishing exercises plus an annual 30-minute refresher. Threats evolve monthly — our ongoing simulation platform ensures bad habits don't slip back in.

What makes your training different from free online modules?

Free modules get 2–5% completion rates with near-zero retention. Our live, interactive sessions are conducted by a local IT professional who understands your business context — not a generic slide deck. Plus post-training support: if your team spots something suspicious and isn't sure, they know exactly who to call.
