Comprehensive Cybersecurity Services

Our team becomes part of your technology team, providing you with a Virtual Chief Security Officer, yearly risk assessments, cybersecurity awareness training, monthly phishing campaigns, continual vulnerability scans, a security information management system (SIEM), cybersecurity procedures and policy development, and more.

Cyber Liability Insurance Readiness (CLIR) Assessment

SWWC Cybersecurity has gathered cyber insurance questionnaires and spoke with top cyber liability insurers to build a readiness assessment. The CLIR Assessment will take you through some of the top questions being asked by cyber insurers and will give your district an idea of where you will sit next cyber insurance renewal period.

Vulnerability and Risk Assessments

We offer three levels of vulnerability and risk assessments, ranging from a basic overview to an in-depth review of your cybersecurity infrastructure.

Sophos Cybersecurity

One of the first defenses we have when stopping a bad actor in their tracks is using a next generation antivirus. SWWC Cybersecurity has partnered with Sophos to offer their top next-gen antivirus called Sophos Intercept X.

Cybersecurity Awareness Training

We partnered with Infosec Institute to offer a robust library of cybersecurity awareness training with thousands of cybersecurity resources, including phishing campaigns.

K-12 Cybersecurity Q&A

Why does the K-12 education sector need to be concerned about cybersecurity?
Is SWWC Cybersecurity a Cyber Liability Insurance Program?

Why does the K-12 education sector need to be concerned about cybersecurity?

Over the past couple of years, the K-12 education has been a major target for hackers. School districts hold an immense amount of personally identifiable information on both students and staff that is more valuable to hackers, all located in one easy-to-access spot. For years, school districts haven’t had the funds or resources to fund a focus directly on cybersecurity, which has led to many cyber incidents around the area, such as multiple phishing attacks, ransomware encrypting all your district's data, climate control manipulation that damages gym floors, and many more.

Is SWWC Cybersecurity a Cyber Liability Insurance Program?

No. The SWWC Cybersecurity Program offerings are not a Cyber Liability Insurance offering, but one of top priorities is directly correlated to cyber liability insurance! As we like to put it, the first major priority of SWWC's Comprehensive Cybersecurity Service is to ensure that our clients are able to obtain Cyber Liability Insurance. Our second priority is ensuring that our clients can obtain affordable Cyber Liability Insurance.

As a foundational element to our services, our Cybersecurity Assessments will provide clients with insight into their Cybersecurity Maturity and provide guidance on what steps need to be addressed to make improvements. Cybersecurity Assessments are becoming an essential component for many schools and public agencies when it comes to insurance and financial auditing standards.
