Workshops · cybersecurity training
A one-hour workshop for people who use their phone every day and were never shown how scammers try to fool them. No jargon: just the house, the keys and whoever rings the doorbell.
Built for adults 30 and up who use WhatsApp, online banking and email, and who are today's favourite target for scams.
Parents, grandparents and children looking out for each other. They leave with a family safe word agreed that same night.
Union branches, civil associations, co-ops and neighbourhood committees. One session for the whole membership, in your own hall.
Parent associations, day centres, clubs and municipal programmes. The pace and the type size are matched to the group.
Nobody hacks you: they talk you into it. Attackers study people, not computers.
The five doors scams come through, and the tell-tale sign for each one.
One rule that solves almost everything: hang up, breathe, call them yourself.
And a hand-written card by the phone or on the fridge: the rule, what a bank never asks for and the numbers to report to.
Every block ends with questions. The examples are real messages, calls and emails recreated on screen.
Your account is the door, your password the key and your phone the keyring. What they want from you and why you are a target.
Is it safe to store passwords on my phone? Is a fingerprint safer? How often should I change my password?
The email with a logo, the call from 'the bank', the parcel text, the link or QR with a surprise inside and someone else's Wi-Fi. A recreated screen and one sign for each. Ends with questions.
The four buttons they press (urgency, authority, fear, affection), the seven most common scams in Mexico and the live 'real or fake?' exercise. Ends with the longest Q&A block.
Five habits that take twelve minutes in total, and what to do in the first hour if you already fell for it, step by step.
The three ideas to take home, the card each person writes for their own house and time for the group's own stories.
After the session
It arrives as a PDF at the address each person writes on the attendance sheet, in their name, with the workshop, its length, the date and the standard it is designed against.
It is a certificate of attendance: it records that the person was in the session. It is not a competency certificate or a certification.
To issue them we ask the organiser for a simple list with each attendee's name. It is used only to produce the certificates and is destroyed as soon as they are sent.
How they are designed
Our workshops are designed against CONOCER competency standard EC0217.01 (delivery of in-person group training): clear objectives, a teaching sequence, exercises and a check on what was learned. They are not certified courses; they are workshops built following that standard.
One hour, at your venue or over video call, with everyday examples and time for questions.
Nothing at all. Everything is explained with the house, the keys and whoever rings the doorbell. The only three technical words in the workshop (password, two-step verification and update) each get their own analogy.
The published price covers up to 20 people, the size at which questions work well. Larger groups are quoted over WhatsApp.
Yes. All it takes is a screen or projector and a room where questions can be heard. In person in and around Xalapa; elsewhere, over video call.
Three ideas, a card they write themselves to stick by the phone, and their certificate of attendance, which arrives as a PDF at the address they leave that day. And a family safe word, if they agree on one that night.
Yes. There are versions for over-60s, for community groups and for parents of teenagers, and we match the examples to your group if you tell us beforehand. If what you need is the version for the staff of a company or a public agency, that's the second workshop.
Only two things: each attendee's name, in a simple list from the organiser, and the email each person writes on the attendance sheet on the day. Nothing else. That is what we use to produce and send the PDFs, and the lists are destroyed as soon as the emails go out: we do not keep them or use them for anything else.
Targeted fraud, impersonation and third-party data, for the staff who move money and paperwork. Direct tone, examples from real operations, and a written protocol at the end.
The other half of SimpleCode: custom sites, dashboards and tools with AI built in. Same team, same way of explaining things.
One session today saves your people a fraud tomorrow.
