K-12 SECURITY SOLUTIONS

Educational Technology Security That Enhances Learning

From Chromebooks to BYOD programs, SecureW2's K-12 solutions provide comprehensive security while supporting modern educational technology initiatives and protecting student privacy.

Enforce Identity-Based Policy to All Devices

Tie auth to MDM and IdP signals to control access for MacBooks, iPads, Windows devices, Chromebooks, and BYOD.

Device Context OS Coverage
  • Unmanaged, unenrolled, and BYOD devices can bypass basic network controls.
  • SecureW2 uses real-time data from your MDM, identity provider, and infrastructure to enforce device-level trust.
  • Only verified and compliant devices gain access regardless of OS or enrollment status.
Eliminate Reset Tickets with Live Identity-Backed Access

Bind credentials to identity sources to kill stale logins, reduce lockouts, and simplify offboarding.

Passwordless Auth Identity Lifecycle
  • Password resets overwhelm IT and disrupt student learning.
  • SecureW2 ties certificate access to real-time identity so sessions revoke automatically.
  • Users stay connected and IT eliminates lockouts and cleanup work.
Dynamically Segment Staff, Students and Guests

Automate access control using group membership and device posture. No static rules or user-based workarounds.

Dynamic VLAN Role-Based Auth
  • Students can bypass content restrictions on shared or password-based networks.
  • SecureW2 enforces segmentation policies based on user role, device type, and compliance signals.
  • Staff, students, and guests are automatically isolated based on access policy.
Audit Access by Identity, Device, and Time

Track every network connection with detailed logs showing who accessed what, when, and from which device.

Certificate Logging Audit Visibility
  • Schools lack visibility into who's accessing their network and when, making incident response difficult.
  • SecureW2 provides comprehensive audit trails tied to user identity, device fingerprints, and timestamps.
  • Complete network visibility with forensic-quality logs for security and compliance reporting.
Decommission On-Prem PKI and RADIUS for Good

Replace legacy infrastructure with a cloud-native platform that scales automatically and reduces IT overhead.

Dynamic PKI Cloud RADIUS
  • On-premises PKI and RADIUS servers require constant maintenance, updates, and expensive hardware.
  • SecureW2's cloud platform eliminates infrastructure management while improving reliability and security.
  • Zero-maintenance authentication infrastructure that scales with your district's growth.
Deliver Guest Wi-Fi with Role Limits and Expiration

Provide secure guest access with automatic credential expiration and network segmentation based on user role.

Guest Access Credential Expiry
  • Guest networks are either too open (security risk) or too complex (poor user experience).
  • SecureW2 delivers self-service guest credentials with automatic expiration and role-based access limits.
  • Secure, user-friendly guest access that protects the network while ensuring visitor convenience.

IMPLEMENTATION GUIDANCE

K-12 School Implementation Questions

Common questions from school IT administrators, principals, and technology coordinators about deploying SecureW2 across K-12 educational environments.

How does JoinNow work with our Google Workspace for Education setup?

JoinNow integrates seamlessly with Google Workspace for Education, automatically syncing student and staff accounts. Students can enroll their devices using their school Google credentials, and access policies are applied based on their organizational units and classroom assignments.

What's the process for securing student Chromebooks and iPads?

Student devices are automatically enrolled when they connect to the school network. The JoinNow app detects the device type, applies appropriate certificates, and connects them securely. For managed devices, this happens transparently. For BYOD, students follow a simple guided process.

How do we handle different grade levels and content filtering?

JoinNow applies age-appropriate policies automatically based on student grade level from your SIS. Elementary students get restricted access, middle schoolers receive educational resources, and high schoolers have expanded research capabilities - all while maintaining safety and COPPA compliance.

What happens when students graduate or transfer schools?

When students are removed from your SIS or Google Workspace, their certificates are automatically revoked and network access is immediately terminated. This ensures no lingering access and maintains security as your student population changes.

How does guest access work for parents and visitors?

Parents and visitors can register for temporary network access through a simple portal. Their access is isolated from school systems, time-limited, and provides internet-only connectivity while protecting student data and school infrastructure.

What compliance requirements does SecureW2 help us meet?

SecureW2 helps schools maintain FERPA, COPPA, and state student privacy compliance through automated audit trails, privacy-respecting monitoring, and age-appropriate access controls. All student activity logs are maintained according to educational privacy requirements.

How quickly can we deploy this across our entire school district?

Most K-12 districts complete deployment in 3-6 weeks depending on size. We provide dedicated education specialists who understand school calendars, testing periods, and minimal disruption requirements. Pilot programs can start in individual schools within days.
