“These aren't just numbers — they represent real schools where student records were stolen, systems were locked for weeks, and communities lost trust. The schools that recover fastest are the ones that prepared before it happened.”

You don't have to figure this out alone. A conversation about where your school stands takes 15 minutes — and it could save you months of recovery.
