Education

Schools are being targeted like enterprises, with none of the enterprise budget.

K-12 districts and universities hold exactly the kind of data attackers want, and run exactly the kind of lean, overstretched IT teams attackers count on. We secure student and faculty data without requiring an enterprise headcount.

Districts Are Targeted Like Enterprises

It only takes one moment of exposure

01

One phished staff email

can be the entry point for a district-wide ransomware attack.
02

One unmanaged student device

on the network is one more way in that nobody's watching.
03

One overlooked FERPA gap

can turn a routine audit into a public-records problem.
What Keeps You Up At Night

The risks that actually threaten your business

Ransomware that cancels classes

A single successful attack can take an entire district offline, canceling classes and holding critical systems hostage for weeks.

FERPA & student data exposure

Grades, health records, and personal information for thousands of students and families sit in systems that weren't built with modern threats in mind.

Lean IT, wide attack surface

One overstretched IT team is expected to secure every campus, device, and platform, often without the budget larger organizations take for granted.

Anatomy Of A School District Incident

What happens from first alert to full recovery

Response is built to get instruction back on track fast, even with a small IT team watching a whole district.

Step 1

Detect

Unusual activity across district systems is flagged, even with a small IT team watching.

Step 2

Contain

Affected systems are isolated to protect the rest of the district without canceling more classes than necessary.

Step 3

Investigate

Scope of student and staff data exposure is determined to guide FERPA-required notification.

Step 4

Recover & Train

Systems are restored and staff receive targeted training on exactly how the incident started.

Built For Student Data

FERPA compliance that fits a real district budget

We build the safeguards, policies, and awareness training FERPA and CIPA require, scoped and priced for institutions that don't have an enterprise security budget to match the threat.

Common Questions

Straight answers about Education security

We don't have a big IT budget. Can you actually work with us?

Yes. A large share of the districts and institutions we work with have small IT teams and real budget constraints. We scope services to match, rather than pricing you out with an enterprise-only offering.

Our staff already ignore most security training. Will yours be any different?

Our Security Awareness Training is built around how attackers actually target schools, using real phishing patterns districts see, not generic corporate content that doesn't resonate with education staff.

What happens to instruction if we do get hit with ransomware?

Our Incident Response plan prioritizes restoring the systems instruction actually depends on first, so the goal is measured in days back in the classroom, not weeks of shutdown.
