Case Study: Hillsboro-Deering School District protects student safety and data security with ManagedMethods Cloud Monitor

Hillsboro-deering School District Protects Student Safety and Data Security in Google Workspace

Hillsboro-Deering School District, a small school district in New Hampshire, faced significant challenges in securing student data and maintaining compliance with a new state cybersecurity law. Using Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, the district's small IT team, led by CISO Neal Richardson, lacked the native tools to efficiently monitor for data leaks, phishing attempts, and unauthorized sharing, creating major visibility gaps and compliance risks. They turned to the vendor ManagedMethods for a solution.

By implementing ManagedMethods' Cloud Monitor platform, the district gained automated control and deep visibility into its cloud environment. The solution provided critical data loss prevention, flagged student safety signals like self-harm, automated compliance reporting, and streamlined account security. The results were transformative; ManagedMethods enabled the small team to efficiently prevent data breaches, respond to cyber threats, and proactively protect student safety, making their security posture far more robust and manageable.
