We have some big news.
Secure Schools has completed its System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2® Type 2 attestation, making us the only K-12 specific school cybersecurity platform to achieve this. It's a milestone we're genuinely proud of, and one that matters directly to the schools and districts we serve.
What does SOC 2® Type 2 actually mean?
A SOC 2® Type 2 report is an independent examination conducted under AICPA standards. Unlike a one-time snapshot, a Type 2 report evaluates whether a company's security controls were not only well-designed but also working effectively over an extended period of time. The examination covers the areas that matter most when you're entrusting a platform with your school's data: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
In short: it's a rigorous, independent validation that we actually do what we say we do.
Why this matters for schools
We understand that school districts hold together tight budgets and even tighter schedules. You don't have the time for vendors who overpromise and underdeliver. When you choose a cybersecurity platform for your school or district, you need to know it's built on solid foundations.
SOC 2® attestation gives you that confidence. It means an independent auditor has examined how Secure Schools handles your data and verified our controls hold up in practice. No marketing spin. No self-reported checklists. Third-party validation.
Built exclusively for schools, now independently verified
Secure Schools was founded by educationalists, for education. Every tool we build, from our cyber score benchmarking and phishing simulations, to our policy builder and awareness training, is designed specifically around the realities of K-12. We don't retrofit enterprise security tools and make them work for K-12. We build from the ground up for your environment, your constraints, and your specific needs.
Achieving this SOC 2® report is a natural extension of that commitment. It's us holding ourselves to the same standard we help schools meet every day.
The only K-12 cybersecurity platform to be SOC 2® attested
We're not aware of any other platform focused exclusively on K-12 cybersecurity that has completed this examination. Schools deserve vendors who take data security as seriously as they do, and we want to lead by example.
What's next
This doesn't change how Secure Schools works; it simply validates how it already works. If you're already a customer, you can trust that the platform protecting your school is backed by independent assurance. If you're evaluating your options, this is one more reason to take a closer look.
