About Event

​No-code is fast. But is it secure?

​As platforms like Airtable, Softr and Stacker slip quietly into core business systems, most teams forget one thing: you’re still handling real data, real customers, and real risks. This workshop is where you learn how to lock the doors before someone rattles the handle.

BTC Workshop 1: Building the No-Code Knowledge Hub

​Goal: Kickstart a collaborative, security-first reference site for no-code builders, while teaching key infosec and deployment concepts in context.

​10:00–10:20 Welcome & Context

  • ​Why No-Code Needs Security Too

  • ​What an ISMS Actually Is (Plain English Edition)

  • ​The Role of the Knowledge Hub: Who it’s for, what it should do

  • ​What We’ll Try to Achieve Today

​10:20–10:40 Skills Inventory & Team Roles

  • ​Quick Roundtable: What Skills Are in the Room? (Prompt cards or whiteboard exercise: writing, design, coding, security, deployment, etc.)

  • ​Who Might Own What: Editors, Contributors, Auditors, Developers

  • ​Split into working groups (if numbers allow):

    • ​Content team

    • ​Technical team

    • ​Security oversight team

​10:40–11:10 Defining the Hub’s First Features

  • ​What Do We Need in Version 0.1?

    • ​Platform Security Profiles

    • ​Builder Checklists

    • ​Downloadable Templates

  • ​Group Sketch: What Should the Site Feel Like?

    • ​(Could use Notion, FigJam, Pen+Paper, etc.)

​11:10–12:00 Hands-On Build & Setup Time

​Break out into groups.

​Technical Group:

  • ​Set up a basic project using Vercel (or Railway)

  • ​Create simple routes or pages using a docs-first framework (e.g. Astro, Next.js, or Docsify)

  • ​Set up a basic CI/CD pipeline (auto-deploy from GitHub)

  • ​Discuss and enable basic security hardening: env vars, role-based access, preview vs prod

​Content Group:

  • ​Write first draft of a Stacker security profile

  • ​Populate a basic ISMS checklist (access, audit, incident response)

  • ​Draft a starter template for access policies

​Compliance Group:

  • ​Review alignment with ISO 27001, GDPR, or PII risk models

  • ​Suggest a tagging system or badge criteria for tools (“secure defaults”, “self-hosting available” etc.)

​12:00–12:30 Demo & Share

​Each team shares:

  • ​What they’ve started

  • ​What still needs doing

  • ​Any problems or blockers

​12:30–13:00 | Roadmap & Next Steps

​Headings:

  • ​What Needs Doing After Today?

    • ​Who wants to contribute ongoing?

    • ​What would a public launch look like?

  • ​What’s Missing (content, skills, partnerships)?

  • ​What Will Workshop 2 Build On?

​Optional Add-ons

​If time/people allow:

  • ​Deploy preview environments and test pull requests

  • ​Integrate Notion/Airtable as a content source to make it easier for non-devs

  • ​Add analytics (to track page views or popular tool profiles)

  • ​Create a shared GitHub project with open issues labelled for contributors
