K-12. Most-attacked sector after healthcare. Least budget.
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.
Industry pressures.
K-12 is the most-attacked sector after healthcare
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.
FERPA / COPPA / state K-12 laws
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.
Vendor breaches cascade across districts
SIS vendors and EdTech SaaS aggregate millions of student records. One vendor breach affects thousands of districts simultaneously.
Parent + board pressure
Parents expect transparency. Boards expect protection. Neither expects 'we couldn't afford security tooling' as the answer.
How Safeguard fits.
Free tier for accredited districts
Safeguard ships a no-cost tier for accredited K-12 districts. SBOM ingest, vendor monitoring, FERPA-mapped controls, free.
EdTech vendor SBOM ingestion
Every EdTech vendor SBOM that your district uses is verified, monitored, and re-scanned daily. Drift surfaces as an alert.
Student-data classification on-device
Lion on-device classifies student PII before it leaves the district network. No PII enters cloud inference paths.
Board-level reporting templates
Monthly board readout templates ready to go. Show parents and the board what's protected, what's at risk, and what's been done.
Compliance alignment.
Reference architecture.
- 01
District control plane
Per-district tenant. Cross-district queries explicitly forbidden. Free tier covers the standard accredited district.
- 02
EdTech vendor SBOM ingest
Every vendor SBOM verified at intake and re-scanned daily. KEV alerts in your inbox before the news cycle.
- 03
Parent + board portal
Read-only portal for parents and the board. Monthly auto-generated security posture readout.
- 04
State / SLCGP grant evidence
Auto-prepared evidence packets for CISA grants, state K-12 cyber funds, and FERPA audits.
Where the risk lives today.
SIS vendor ransomware
Student information system ransomware (PowerSchool-class) cascades across districts simultaneously. Vendor SBOM monitoring catches it early.
EdTech vendor breach
Illuminate-class breaches expose millions of student records. Continuous vendor scrutiny + KEV alerts move the response window.
MOVEit-class vendor compromise
File-transfer vendor breaches keep happening. Vendor concentration mapping shows which of your EdTech vendors share the same upstream.
Classroom AI prompt injection by students
Students will jailbreak any AI tool you give them. MCP-server inspection + Lion on egress prevent sensitive-data leakage.
Current threat landscape.
SIS-vendor ransomware (PowerSchool-class)
Critical student information system compromised at the vendor.
TPRMEdTech vendor breach (Illuminate-class)
Multi-district student-record exposure via shared EdTech vendor.
TPRMMOVEit-class file-transfer compromise
Vendor file-transfer software exploited; downstream district data exposed.
SCAClassroom AI prompt-injection abuse
