WHAT’S THE RISK
Without Automated Monitoring,
Protecting Student Data is like a Game of Whack-a-mole
Google Workspace for Education environments are saturated with personal information. As school networks grow, manual monitoring of large numbers of users, files, and apps becomes challenging. That exposes institutions to data security and student safety risks, compliance gaps, and human errors.
Day-to-Day Admin Challenge
- Incomplete visibility into user data lifecycle
- Uncontrolled user activity on Drive, Gmail and devices
- Fragmented, log-based oversight of student online activity
- Exhausting, time-consuming log reviews
Domain Vulnerability
- Increasing risk of data breaches and unauthorized access
- Overlooked security gaps and delayed incident responses
- Incomplete and lagging compliance audits
- Admin overload and frequent human errors
