Safeguard ships a free tier for accredited K-12 districts. FERPA-mapped controls, EdTech vendor SBOM monitoring, board-ready reports, classroom AI guardrails. Because districts shouldn't have to choose between teachers and tooling.
Districts run on slim budgets, decade-old code, and dozens of EdTech vendors. The attack frequency is brutal, and the consequences hit children's records.
Federal student-data laws plus a patchwork of state K-12 cyber rules (NY SHIELD, CA AB 2273, etc). Compliance is mandatory; the budget for compliance isn't.
SIS vendors and EdTech SaaS aggregate millions of student records. One vendor breach affects thousands of districts simultaneously.
Parents expect transparency. Boards expect protection. Neither expects 'we couldn't afford security tooling' as the answer.
Safeguard ships a no-cost tier for accredited K-12 districts. SBOM ingest, vendor monitoring, FERPA-mapped controls, free.
Every EdTech vendor SBOM that your district uses is verified, monitored, and re-scanned daily. Drift surfaces as an alert.
Lino on-device classifies student PII before it leaves the district network. No PII enters cloud inference paths.
Monthly board readout templates ready to go. Show parents and the board what's protected, what's at risk, and what's been done.
Per-district tenant. Cross-district queries explicitly forbidden. Free tier covers the standard accredited district.
Every vendor SBOM verified at intake and re-scanned daily. KEV alerts in your inbox before the news cycle.
Read-only portal for parents and the board. Monthly auto-generated security posture readout.
Auto-prepared evidence packets for CISA grants, state K-12 cyber funds, and FERPA audits.
Student information system ransomware (PowerSchool-class) cascades across districts simultaneously. Vendor SBOM monitoring catches it early.
Illuminate-class breaches expose millions of student records. Continuous vendor scrutiny + KEV alerts move the response window.
File-transfer vendor breaches keep happening. Vendor concentration mapping shows which of your EdTech vendors share the same upstream.
Students will jailbreak any AI tool you give them. MCP-server inspection + Lino on egress prevent sensitive-data leakage.
Critical student information system compromised at the vendor.
