What Tartan Does for K-12 IT Teams

This overview is built for school and district IT leaders who need to understand exactly what the platform handles today and what is planned next.

Phishing Simulation for School Employees

  • Difficulty adapts to each employee's previous behavior.
  • Deliver under-30-second micro training immediately after a click.

Phishing Simulation for Students

Platform FAQs

How much manual work is required after setup?

After onboarding, campaigns can run on an automatic 15, 30, 60, or 90-day cadence. Most teams focus on reviewing results and taking targeted follow-up actions.

Can we run programs for staff and students?

Yes. The platform supports staff and student simulation and training while still giving district leaders one place to review risk trends.

What reporting can school and district leaders see?

You can review click behavior, reporting behavior, and training progress by school, department, and campaign, with exports for leadership and board updates.

How does adaptive difficulty work?

Simulation difficulty automatically adjusts based on each recipient’s previous performance so training remains relevant for both frequent clickers and consistently cautious users.

What is planned for coming-soon modules?

Phish Report Button, Threat Manager, and Gamification & Leaderboards are planned to extend the platform from awareness training into faster threat reporting, triage, and engagement.
