Disclosure: This is a design‑partner micro‑pilot in a small organisation context. Outcomes are indicative and vary by environment.

Challenge

BYOD mix and limited admin time meant fragmented controls. The outcome needed to align with N4L and cause minimal disruption.

Approach

Plan (5–8 days):
  • Day 1: Baseline & policy check
  • Day 2–3: Staff MFA; DMARC to “quarantine”
  • Day 4–5: BYOD baseline; SafeSearch/N4L tuning
  • Day 6–7: Restore test; teacher cheat‑sheets
Scope:
  • Google Workspace/M365 • BYOD • LMS/SMS • N4L filtering
