SOCHQ Pro+ · For K-12, charter & private schools
Schools are now one of the most-attacked sectors on earth, holding the personal data of thousands of children with shrinking budgets and less federal support than ever. SOCHQ Pro+ gives a single school the protection a large district has, priced for a team without a security department.
A 10-question check on how well student data is protected, with a prioritized plan. Private — runs in your browser.
The guideWhat FERPA, COPPA & CIPA expect, why schools are targeted, and how to protect student data affordably.
FERPA protects student records but doesn't hand you a control checklist — so the recognized move is adopting a framework (NIST CSF or CIS Controls) and covering the essentials:
Built by people who run real security operations centers and scaled down on purpose for schools without a security team. It's designed to fill exactly the gap that reduced federal support has left — the monitoring, the vendor visibility, and the documentation — without the enterprise price tag. The expensive path was never the security; it was the ransom, the lost school days, and the family trust you can't buy back.
No — FERPA protects student records but leaves the "how" largely to you, which is why adopting NIST CSF or CIS Controls is the recognized standard of reasonable measures.
They hold children's data, run systems that can't easily go offline, and often lack security budgets. The U.S. led the world in education-sector ransomware in 2025.
Yes. Enterprise-grade monitoring now scales to a single school at a fraction of historical cost — exactly why SOCHQ Pro+ exists.
Free, private, 2 minutes — and you'll leave with a prioritized action plan.
