Case Study: Steamboat Springs School District protects student data and improves Google Workspace security with ManagedMethods

This Regional K-12 Public School District’s It Team Supports the Needs of Over 8,000 Students and 1,000 Staff Members

Steamboat Springs School District, a regional K-12 public school system supporting over 8,000 students and 1,000 staff, faced significant security and compliance challenges after transitioning to Google Workspace. The district's IT team needed to monitor for sensitive data covered under regulations like FERPA and HIPAA, protect against EdTech security risks from third-party applications, and identify potential student safety issues like cyberbullying and threats.

The vendor, ManagedMethods, provided its Cloud Monitor solution to address these needs. The platform offered customizable policy monitoring to ensure compliance and protect students, delivering immediate visibility into data security and potential safety risks. The Director of Technology confirmed the solution was quick to deploy and provided the critical level of visibility needed to secure student and staff data, allowing the team to detect, quarantine, and remediate threats effectively.
