The Human-First Approach to Cyber Security
Tech jargon? Not here. RipRap translates complex cyber security concepts into plain language so everyone on your team feels confident and informed.

When everyone understands the why and how, your entire team becomes a frontline defense against cyber threats.
What to Expect: The Four-Week Cohort
RipRap’s program unfolds over four weeks, with a live 1-hour Zoom session each week. After every session, participants get clear next steps and checklists to keep moving forward. Here’s a quick rundown:
- Week One: Asset Management — Inventory all hardware and software, identify outdated or unused assets. Because you can’t protect what you don’t know you have.
- Week Two: MFA & Account Cleanup — Implement organization-wide multi-factor authentication and remove inactive user accounts. MFA slashes the risk of compromised credentials, and pruning old accounts closes easy backdoors.
- Week Three: Critical Service Security Configurations — Secure cloud productivity suites like M365 or Google Workspace. These platforms are prime targets, so proper configurations are key to closing loopholes.
- Week Four: Security Culture & Incident Preparation — Build communication norms for security awareness, select or create ongoing training, and develop a basic incident response plan. A strong security culture means everyone acts as a first line of defense.
