The fast path from request to running your first KC7 event
Three steps. About 45 minutes of your time, plus the wait for approval.
You need an organization name, a rough event date, and an estimated headcount. Nothing has to be final.
The form takes about five minutes. Approval usually lands in 1-2 days. While you wait, plan the logistics.
When approved, an email arrives with two links.
The host dashboard at kc7cyber.com/intro/XXXX is your control center. Spend 15-20 minutes here:
Watch the intro videos you'll show participants
Read the host guide
Open the live scoreboard and analytics tools
Find your tenant dashboard for adding future games
The participant link at kc7cyber.com/go/XXXX is what you share with your group. Test it as a participant:
Create a test account and walk the sign-up flow
Read the opening of "A Scandal in Valdoria"
Solve a few challenges
Find the hint buttons so you can point stuck participants to them
Share the participant link with your group. They land in the scenario and start investigating.
Watch progress from your host dashboard. Most participants take about 90 minutes. Some finish faster, some take longer, both are fine.
Your job is to encourage people, not to teach cybersecurity. The platform handles the instruction.
Plan your KC7 event for marketing templates and detailed logistics
