Data that stays valuable
A stolen credit card is dead in a week. A child's identity is clean until they apply for their first loan, which is why student records sell for a premium and why breaches in education keep paying off years later.
Education is where TriVigil started and it's still the majority of our work. We know what a board meeting sounds like, what a summer refresh cycle does to a project plan, and why "just buy the tool" has never once been the answer in a district.
A district holds social security numbers, health records, family financial data, and years of behavioral history on minors. On a criminal market that's worth considerably more than most corporate data, and the team defending it is usually smaller than the front office.

In most districts, security sits with someone whose title says something else entirely. When the person accountable for a breach is also responsible for the network, the help desk, and the one-to-one program, something gets dropped.
Vendor-related incidents in districts climbed from 4% in 2023 to 32% in 2025. Your SIS, your assessment platform, your transportation software. Each integration hands you a risk decision that somebody else made.
Risk assessments that give a superintendent something to take to the board. Policy that survives an audit. Training your staff will actually sit through. And a security leader on call when the ransom note appears on a Sunday.
Higher ed carries an open network, a research portfolio, and a compliance load that spans four or five frameworks at once. We work alongside your existing IT organization rather than around it, and we're comfortable in front of a cabinet.
Two moments bring most districts to us: the security leader just left, or something has already happened. We can hold the seat while you hire, and we can stand beside you through disclosure, insurance, and the rebuild.

The unexpected loss of our IT Director was more than just a vacancy; it felt like losing a friend and a vital member of our community. In those moments of vulnerability, we realized we needed more than just a service provider; we needed a trusted partner. That's when we turned to TriVigil.
