Why Tartan wins
Why K-12 Teams Choose Tartan
Tartan's training is built for schools and sold on its own. You buy the parts your school needs, and you see the price first.
Buy Only the Training You Need
Each Tartan product is sold on its own: staff phishing simulations, video training, student training, and the report button. Pick what your school needs.
Ready for Google Workspace Schools
Proofpoint's training pages don't name Google Workspace (as of October 2026). Tartan syncs staff from Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 and adds Tartan App Shield to Gmail and Outlook.
Training for Students, Too
In the training FAQ answer on Proofpoint's K-12 & Higher Education page, students appear once, in the phrase "every student or employee". Tartan sells Student Phishing & Video Training as its own product, built for students.
Written for Schools
ZenGuide's page speaks to "your employees". Tartan's simulations mimic emails from the services your school uses, and its case studies come from K-12 schools.
