Common Questions

How much does security awareness training cost?

It depends on team size and how often you want simulations. During your free consultation we scope a plan around your team and budget, so you know the cost before you commit.

Will my employees get in trouble if they click?

No. When someone clicks a simulated phish, they get brief, positive coaching on the spot. The goal is learning, not blame.

Do you only work in person?

We love showing up at your office anywhere in the Reno-Tahoe region, but we also run live virtual sessions for remote and hybrid teams.

Can training help with compliance and cyber insurance?

Many regulations and insurance applications ask whether employees receive regular security training and phishing tests. We provide documented training and reporting to support those requirements. We’re not a law firm, so we can’t give legal advice, but we’ll point you to what to ask your attorney or insurer.

What kinds of scams do you cover?

Email phishing, text-message scams (smishing), QR code attacks (quishing), and phone and AI voice-impersonation fraud, using scenarios relevant to Northern Nevada. See our latest scam alerts on the blog.
