Content filtering that meets federal requirements, age-appropriate access controls, and the documentation your school needs for E-Rate eligibility. We keep you compliant so you can focus on education.
Staff security training
Your teachers and admin staff are your first line of defense. We provide regular training on recognizing phishing emails, safe password practices, and what to do if something looks suspicious.

“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.
