Case Study: K-12 Private School achieves secure online learning with SafeGuard Cyber

K-12 Private School Establishes Secure and Safe Online Education with Microsoft Teams

K-12 Private School turned to SafeGuard Cyber when COVID-19 forced it to rapidly move to a virtual learning environment on Microsoft Teams. With 1,200 students and strict record-keeping requirements, the school needed a way to monitor chat activity for cyberbullying, security threats, and compliance risks while also protecting students and staff across devices and networks.

SafeGuard Cyber implemented cloud-scale digital risk protection for Microsoft Teams, using real-time scanning and automated policy-based detection to flag inappropriate conduct, violent speech, drug references, hate speech, malware, and potential compliance violations. In the first 10 days, the platform captured and archived 125,000 messages, identified 1,989 instances of inappropriate conduct, 180 mentions of violent activity, 74 references to drug use, and 7 malware-related indications, helping the school remediate threats in real time and retain full conversation records for audits.
