Phishing simulations
Safe practice emails that show who would have clicked, followed by a short lesson instead of blame.
Board briefings
A clear picture of risk and oversight duties, sized to fit a board meeting.
New staff and volunteer onboarding
A short security orientation so good habits start on the first day.
Seniors workshops
Patient, small group sessions on everyday technology and avoiding scams.

The same team plans, rehearses and teaches, so nothing gets lost between a finding and the fix.
