Protected, not just insured.
Cybersecurity protection built around what your insurance underwriter actually requires.
The free self-assessment gives you a first look at possible gaps. It can help you decide whether to follow up with a full cybersecurity review of your school's protections and insurance requirements.
Most schools carry a cyber insurance policy without knowing whether it will pay out.
Underwriters can deny a claim if even a few required protections, such as two-factor authentication, endpoint monitoring, phishing training, or written policies, aren't in place.
When a school's systems are compromised, the consequences reach every part of the institution: functional, operational, financial, and reputational. With underwriters raising the bar on compliance and boards asking more questions, cybersecurity has become a mission-critical priority, not a line item to defer.
Built from the requirements of the industry's largest underwriters
What it is
A cybersecurity subscription built for schools: continuous protection, monitoring, and staff training, mapped to what your cyber insurance actually requires.
How it works
It starts with a 16-point assessment built from the requirements of the industry's largest cyber insurance underwriters. We compare your protections with your policy's requirements, put the missing protections in place, and manage them for you. After setup, deployment and monitoring are remote. Your insurer makes coverage decisions under the terms of your policy.

Start with the free self-assessment. A few plain questions show where your school stands on the controls your insurer expects. Then have a 15-minute conversation with one of our cybersecurity experts about your results.

Assessment first. A 16-point risk assessment, item for item aligned to underwriter requirements, shows exactly where your school stands and what's missing. You only pay to close the gaps you actually have.

Edu-Tech is independent of every manufacturer and reseller and works on your school's side to choose what fits. Our subscription brings together products and services so your school doesn't have to vet multiple vendors: 24/7 endpoint detection and response through SentinelOne (software that watches school computers for threats), email and domain security, two-factor authentication, DNS filtering on and off campus, vulnerability scanning, annual penetration testing, written security policies, incident response planning, and phishing training for staff.

Heavier lift in year one, lighter every year after. The first year builds your policies, protections, and infrastructure. After that, the subscription shifts to maintenance and re-evaluation: the cost and the effort go down, and the protection stays current.
Who it's for
Heads of school, business officers, and technology directors who carry cyber insurance and assume they're covered, and leaders who would rather not be the school's technology expert. Delivery is remote, so it works for independent schools, districts, and charter schools alike, with or without IT staff.

Common questions
- "We can't afford it."
- Compare it against the true cost of the alternative: salary, benefits, taxes, training, and turnover for a hire the school still has to manage, or the cost of a provider who doesn't know schools. Edu-Tech scopes to what the school actually needs and flexes the engagement as budgets shift. For cybersecurity, the question isn't whether the school can afford protection; it's whether it can afford a denied claim.
- "We've been burned by outside providers before."
- Most providers serve every industry and learn schools on the school's dime. Edu-Tech has only ever supported schools, and the model puts a named person in your building. Trust is earned through background checks, reputation, and being in the building, not claimed in a proposal.
