ManagedMethods Description

ManagedMethods is a cloud security platform designed specifically for K-12 school districts. The company focuses on helping educational institutions monitor, manage, and secure their cloud environments, with particular emphasis on Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 deployments. The platform addresses security challenges that arise from the widespread adoption of cloud applications in K-12 education, including data leaks, unauthorized access, compliance violations, and student safety concerns such as cyberbullying. ManagedMethods operates under the premise that cloud application vendors (e.g., Google, Microsoft) follow a shared responsibility model, meaning schools retain responsibility for configuring and monitoring their own data security within those platforms. Key capabilities of the platform include cloud application security auditing, monitoring for CIPA (Children's Internet Protection Act) violations, data loss prevention, phishing detection, and student safety monitoring. The company offers free Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 security audits as part of its outreach to districts. ManagedMethods produces educational content and resources tailored to K-12 IT administrators and school district personnel, including webinars, infographics, guides, and research reports on the state of K-12 cloud security. Their content addresses topics such as ransomware, vendor risk management, cyberbullying, student mental health, and budget-constrained cybersecurity operations. The company targets K-12 school districts in the United States, addressing the specific compliance, safety, and resource constraints faced by educational institutions that typically lack dedicated cybersecurity staff.
