Details
Tusker provided a vCISO model built for the realities of a resource-constrained K–12 district. The engagement brought the executive-level oversight the team lacked, along with a right-sized governance structure that supported both leadership and day-to-day IT staff. Early efforts focused on identity and access improvements, tightening remote access, and strengthening human-layer readiness through awareness training. Each step was tied to simple metrics that showed progress without adding strain to the small internal team. Regular monthly reviews, quarterly scans, and ongoing leadership briefings kept stakeholders aligned and informed, helping the district move forward at a steady, manageable pace.
