03 / On-site staff training

Teach the Threats. Practice the Defense.

Bring practical cybersecurity training to your church. Staff see how common offensive attacks work, rehearse safe responses, and leave with habits and procedures they can use immediately.

Best fit

Pastors, administrators, finance staff, ministry leaders, IT contacts, and volunteers with sensitive access.

How it is delivered

On-site or live remote instruction; choose a focused briefing, half-day workshop, or full-day readiness program.

The outcome

Role-specific checklists, an escalation path, documented participation, and an actionable debrief.

Read the Threat and Defense Guide
01

Recognize the Offensive Playbook

Spear phishing, pastor impersonation, urgent gift-card requests, QR-code lures, fake shared documents, voice cloning, and suspicious sign-in or app approvals. Staff learn the attacker’s objective and the decision that interrupts the attempt.

02

Build Everyday Defensive Habits

Use password managers and approved MFA, protect account recovery, verify unusual requests, handle unexpected approvals, and report a suspicious message quickly. Demonstrations use fictional information and safe examples.

03

Protect Giving & Financial Decisions

Finance staff and approvers rehearse bank-change callbacks, vendor verification, dual authorization, giving-link checks, and documenting exceptions—even when the request appears to come from a senior leader.

04

Use AI with Clear Boundaries

Identify approved tools, understand what must stay out of prompts, review connected-app permissions, and require human approval before sending sensitive communications or changing important information.

05

Handle Confidential Ministry Information

Practice safer sharing, permissions, device use, and handling of donor, personnel, children’s, and pastoral information. Make the appropriate reporting and escalation path clear for staff and volunteers.

06

Rehearse an Incident Together

Walk through a fictional compromised mailbox or fraudulent payment request. Leadership practices who decides, who calls the bank or provider, who preserves evidence, and how the church communicates.

  • An agreed agenda tied to your church’s priorities and staff roles.
  • Participant materials and a practical pause–verify–report checklist.
  • Role-specific prompts for finance, administrators, leadership, and privileged volunteers.
  • An attendance record and an aggregate knowledge-check summary where included.
  • A leadership debrief documenting questions, gaps, and agreed follow-up actions.
  • For workshop and readiness-day engagements, a scenario debrief and action register.
Designed to build confidence

Exercises use fictional records and controlled examples. We do not collect real passwords, send money, or conduct surprise attacks as part of a workshop. Any live phishing simulation is separately authorized and scoped.
