Why Tartan wins

Why Schools Choose Tartan Over BullPhish ID

What schools moving off BullPhish ID tell us matters most.

  • Simulations From Your School's Services

    Tartan's phishing simulations copy 110+ services schools use, like Google Classroom, Teachers Pay Teachers, and GoGuardian. Each person gets their own email at a random time, so staff can't warn each other. BullPhish ID's kits are built for any business.

  • Training for Every Role in a School

    Videos are written for teachers, substitutes, nurses, and coaches. Each one is under 3 minutes and ends in a quick quiz, with no login to remember. Student Phishing & Video Training covers every grade.

  • Focus on the People Who Keep Clicking

    A click shows micro-training in under 30 seconds and lowers the difficulty of that person's next email. Repeat clickers can be enrolled in a video automatically, and your phish risk score shows who clicks by school and department.

  • Yours, Whoever Your MSP or Insurer Is

    BullPhish ID can come in an MSP bundle or through your insurer, so it can go away when either changes. Tartan is sold on its own, priced per school, and your MSP can sell it with no minimum deal.
