CyberSMART

Cybersecurity planning and support for schools & districts

School districts are increasingly targeted by cyber attacks, putting student data and learning at risk. CyberSMART helps you proactively identify risks before disaster strikes so you can stay focused on your mission; your students. Our unique, scenario-based evaluation provides:

  • Detailed risk analysis

  • Customized incident response plan and roadmap

  • Expert guidance from experienced K-12 leaders

  • Solutions tailored to your district's culture, schedule, and budget

1. Evaluate

We start with a district assessment of your cybersecurity posture to help you understand your level of risk and protection. Our assessment process is designed to have minimal interruptions to your school day. Our team of K-12 technology leaders will meet with your staff and go through various cyber security scenarios that cover over 50 cybersecurity controls and policies.

2. Prioritize

Our comprehensive cybersecurity assessment identifies your district's unique risk profile and benchmarks it against comparable school districts. You'll receive a detailed report highlighting key strengths and vulnerabilities, enabling you to prioritize security enhancements. Our evaluation team comprises current and former school district IT leaders who understand the complexities and constraints of K-12 environments, ensuring a tailored and relevant analysis.

3. Implement

We'll guide your district and IT leadership through a collaborative process to develop a customized cybersecurity plan based on your risk analysis. This process will produce a clear roadmap for reducing risk, including realistic estimates of costs, timeframes, and potential tradeoffs.

4. Support

We'll partner with you to develop a tailored support plan that empowers your team to successfully implement your cybersecurity strategy. This plan can include a range of options, including coaching, direct-support, and peer collaboration. Our goal is to help you achieve your cybersecurity milestones with a support plan that aligns with your needs and budget.
