Which apply depends on your organization. Each is mapped to one control set, so the same evidence answers every audience.
What the six domains look like for school districts.
Controls and an exercised incident plan sized for a small team, including ransomware readiness.
Approved use rules for staff and students, and review of AI features arriving inside classroom software.
A risk register the superintendent and school board read the same way every meeting.
Policies and vendor agreements mapped to student privacy obligations, with evidence kept current.
An inventory of which instructional tools hold student data, and what each is permitted to do with it.
Ownership and classification for student records, so access follows role rather than habit.
Three common first engagements.
The order is set by your roadmap, not by sector. These are where school districts most often begin.
Privacy Current State Assessment
Inventories the instructional tools that hold student data and the agreements behind them.
Vulnerability Assessment & Ransomware Readiness
Tests the exposure districts are most often targeted through.
AI Policy Framework
Gives staff and students a clear position before tools decide it for them.
Common questions from school districts

Which student privacy laws does Devensa help districts address?
Commonly FERPA, COPPA, CIPA, PPRA, and state student data privacy laws, along with the data privacy agreements districts sign with instructional technology vendors.
Where should a school district start?
Usually with the domain under the most pressure, most often Privacy or Cybersecurity in this sector. Each domain opens with a Current State Assessment that produces its TruMaturity™ score and roadmap.
