Public trust, public records —
and a one-person IT department. We've got you.

Schools and local governments sit near the top of every attacked-sector list, for a simple reason: your staff directory, your vendor lists, and your board minutes are public records — so the attacker's homework is already done — and the person defending it all usually has three other jobs. Org Guard puts a real Security Architect and an always-on detection engine behind your email and your admin console, read-only, at a price a budget line can absorb.

Public by lawYour org chart, budgets, and vendor payments are published — we watch what that exposure enables, and tell you what an attacker sees.
Human-verifiedThe engine flags; a Security Architect confirms. Your office hears from us once it matters, not every time a model guesses.
Board-readableFindings arrive with the actual evidence quoted and a re-check date — a report a superintendent, council, or auditor can act on.
Why schools & local government

The attacks are tuned to how public entities work.

Vendor-payment redirect

Your vendors and payment schedules are in public board minutes. The "updated banking details" email arrives timed to a real invoice, from a lookalike of a real contractor. It carries no malware, so nothing built into your email stops it. We read what the message is asking for — and flag the redirect before finance acts.

Payroll diversion

A "direct-deposit change" request to HR, impersonating a teacher or clerk whose name is on your public site. We watch for the pretext, and help you put a verification step in front of every banking change — the control insurers now ask about by name.

Staff account takeover

A password from an old breach, a sign-in from the other side of the world, a quiet forwarding rule on a business-office mailbox. It is all in your admin console's audit log — if anyone reads it. We do, every day, and a takeover becomes a phone call instead of a discovery months later.

The insurance & audit squeeze

Cyber-insurance renewals and state audit requirements now demand MFA, monitoring, and incident planning — with premiums and coverage riding on the answers. We get you to "yes, and here's the dated evidence," and keep you there.

What you get

The same Org Guard, aimed at a public entity's realities.

Org Guard's coverage, tiers, and published limits are identical for every organization — exactly what's included, in writing. What changes here is the emphasis:

1

Money-movement guardrails first

Vendor-change and payroll-change verification procedures, written for your office and reviewed with the people who move the money — because payment redirect is the loss that actually empties public accounts.

2

Your public footprint, attacker's-eye view

We read what's published about your entity the way an attacker does — staff pages, vendor lists, meeting minutes — and tell you which scams that information enables, so front-office staff know exactly which pretexts to expect.

3

Evidence a public body can file

Every finding quotes the record it came from and carries a re-check date. Reports are written to be read aloud in a board meeting and filed with an auditor — no scores without sources, no assertions you can't verify.

Questions public entities ask

Fair questions, straight answers.

We have one IT person for the whole district. Is this for us?

That is exactly who this is for. Org Guard is a fractional security team: our engine watches around the clock, a Security Architect verifies anything it flags, and your IT person gets a precise, evidence-backed fix list instead of another dashboard to check. We work alongside them, never around them.

Does this help with our cyber-insurance renewal?

Yes — it's one of the most valuable things we do. On Guardian Plus and above we sit down with the questionnaire, close the gaps it exposes, and hand you an evidence packet at renewal. Public entities face the strictest renewal requirements; arriving with monitoring in place, MFA coverage numbers, and dated evidence changes the conversation with the underwriter.

Can you work within a public-entity budget cycle?

Yes. Pricing is flat, published, and monthly — the numbers are on the site, not behind a demo — so it can be written into a budget line and approved once. The rate you join at is the rate you keep.

What access do you need, and who approves it?

Read-only access, granted from your own admin console while we're on a call together, revocable in one click without our permission. We never hold passwords. Everything granted is documented in writing on day one — the kind of record a board or council can review. The exact permissions, published →

Start with a free posture review.

Fifteen minutes on the phone with a working Security Architect — where your district or office actually stands, what an attacker can see from your public records, and whether Org Guard is worth it for you. An honest "you're fine, here's a checklist" is a real possible outcome.
