Case Study: Education Service Center Region 12 secures Google Workspace data with ManagedMethods

Texas Esc Region 12 Needed a Better Way to Secure District Google Workspace for Education Accounts

Education Service Center Region 12, a nonprofit supporting 76 Texas school districts, faced significant challenges securing sensitive student and staff data within Google Workspace. Their previous solution, Cisco Cloudlock, was expensive and lacked critical features like comprehensive Gmail monitoring and advanced data loss prevention, putting them at risk of data breaches and compliance violations with regulations like FERPA.

The organization implemented ManagedMethods' Cloud Monitor platform, which provided superior security for Google Drive and Gmail at a more affordable cost. The solution deployed quickly without disrupting users and gave the IT team immediate visibility and control, enabling them to prevent data loss, defend against threats like malware and phishing, and effectively meet their student data privacy compliance requirements.
