How we handle it
We keep your school compliant with CIPA, COPPA, and FERPA requirements
We filter content and monitor network activity to protect students online
We train your staff to recognize phishing and social engineering attacks
We monitor your systems 24/7 and respond to threats before they become incidents
“Working with Jorge and his team has been transformational. He's responsive, detail-oriented and client focused. This translates into not only exceptional service but better, more efficient data security and network systems for students. I've worked with him for years and can't imagine building a team without his expertise and support.”
— Natasha Barriga, Administrator, Camino Nuevo Charter Academy
What's happening across the country
Cyberattacks on schools aren't a distant threat — they're happening every week across the U.S. Here's what the national data shows.

“These aren't just numbers — they represent real schools where student records were stolen, systems were locked for weeks, and communities lost trust. The schools that recover fastest are the ones that prepared before it happened.”
You don't have to figure this out alone. A conversation about where your school stands takes 15 minutes — and it could save you months of recovery.
Let's Talk About Your School's SecurityFrequently Asked Questions
What cybersecurity do K-12 schools need?
Schools need content filtering (CIPA compliance), network monitoring, email security, endpoint protection on all devices, staff security training, and incident response planning. LATechNet provides all of these as part of our cybersecurity services for K-12 schools in Southern California.
How do schools comply with CIPA?
CIPA (Children's Internet Protection Act) requires schools to have internet safety policies and technology protection measures like content filtering. LATechNet sets up and manages CIPA-compliant content filtering, monitors network activity, and helps schools maintain the policies required for E-Rate funding.
What are the biggest cyber threats to K-12 schools?
Phishing attacks targeting staff, ransomware that locks school systems, and data breaches exposing student records are the most common threats. In recent years, K-12 schools have become one of the most targeted sectors for cyberattacks. LATechNet has blocked over 53,000 threats for our school clients.
Does LATechNet provide cybersecurity for schools in Los Angeles?
Yes — we serve K-12 charter and private schools throughout Los Angeles County, Orange County, the Inland Empire, and surrounding areas in Southern California. Our office is in Whittier, CA, and we provide both remote monitoring and on-site support.
How much does cybersecurity cost for a school?
Cybersecurity costs depend on your school's size, number of devices, and the level of protection you need. LATechNet provides comprehensive cybersecurity — monitoring, training, compliance, and incident response — at pricing designed for charter and private school budgets.
