This workshop is designed to be an engaging experience for School District Teams consisting of Superintendents, Business Managers, School District Technology Directors, Coordinators, and Support Staff. Though team participation is encouraged, the workshop will also be very engaging and informative for individual attendees, allowing them to go back to their school and champion these efforts. The security of data and privacy is the responsibility of all school district administrators with the Technology Department serving as a champion in the charge.

9:00 to 12:00 – K-12 Data Security Preparation and Response from Ground Zero to Response.

In education, we need to take a step back and get back to security basics, and assess our risk management processes and privacy and data breach response plans. In this engaging session Ryan Cloutier, Certified Information System Security Professional, will review simple effective security habits and controls we can implement today for low to no cost. Ryan will also discuss how to begin a risk management program, good habits for maintaining data and personal privacy, emerging threats in 2018 and What to do when you have your Data Breach and what you need to know to appropriately respond.

During our Working Lunch, a presentation regarding ADA Compliance for K-12 School District Websites will be provided. Participants will learn about the laws that apply to your district’s online resources and how services such as SiteImprove can assess and provide insight on corrective actions to avoid litigation.
