Students belong inside the protection plan.
Commercial per-user pricing can make complete student coverage difficult to fund. Guard includes active student mailboxes in the district’s agreed scope without a separate student license charge.
Straightforward K–12 pricing
Protect every inbox.
Price it like a school.
Schools should not have to ration protection between staff and students. Guard Complete gives the district one clear annual price, every core protection, and no separate student license charge.
Why we price Guard this way
Because protection should reach the whole school community.
Our team came from K–12 education. We know that every technology dollar is a public trust, and that student safety cannot become an optional line item.
Security should not depend on a feature tier.
Authentication, content, attachment, link, impersonation, quarantine, investigation, and reporting capabilities belong in one complete plan.
School budgets deserve predictable numbers.
The annual price is clear, standard implementation is included, and message volume does not trigger an automatic surprise overage.
One complete plan
Core protection comes standard.
Guard Complete brings the checks and investigation tools school teams need into one tenant-aware workspace. The plan does not reserve stronger protection for a premium security tier.

District examples
Simple math from the start.
Annual pricing is based on active staff mailboxes. Active student mailboxes in the agreed district scope are included.
Small district
$6,000/year- Staff
- 250
- Students
- 1,250 included
Growing district
$18,000/year- Staff
- 750
- Students
- 3,750 included
10,000-user district
$48,000/year- Staff
- 2,000
- Students
- 8,000 included
Districts below 250 active staff mailboxes use the $6,000 annual minimum. Final scope is confirmed during evaluation.
A fair price needs clear terms
Care also means planning responsibly.
Reliable protection starts with an honest understanding of the district’s environment. Before activation, we agree on domains, active mailboxes, expected mail patterns, retention, implementation scope, and support needs. If those needs change, we plan the next step together before the bill changes.
No charge, with a limited initial scope and shared acceptance plan.
No separate implementation fee for a qualified Google Workspace launch within standard scope.

Pricing questions
Clear answers before you commit.
What counts as an active staff mailbox?+
A staff mailbox is an active employee, faculty, administrator, or other workforce mailbox in the district directory scope agreed for Guard. Aliases, groups, and shared mailboxes are included within that agreed scope.
Are student mailboxes really included?+
Yes. Every active student mailbox in the agreed district scope is included without a separate per-student license charge.
What is included in standard implementation?+
For a qualified Google Workspace environment, standard implementation includes domain and mail-flow planning, identity and directory setup, administrator guidance, staged validation, and cutover support within the agreed scope.
Will message volume create an unexpected bill?+
No automatic message-volume overage charge is added. Before activation, we agree on protected domains, mailbox counts, expected mail patterns, and retention needs. If those needs change materially, we plan the capacity and commercial impact together before making a change.
Is Microsoft 365 supported at this price?+
Guard evaluations currently focus on qualified Google Workspace environments. Microsoft 365 will use the same core pricing after the district tenant and integration path have completed qualification and validation.
