Security Awareness Toolkit for Schools
A free, ready-to-adapt toolkit for IT teams and educators building a year-round cyber culture program.
Building a security awareness program from scratch takes time. This toolkit, developed by the CNUSD Cybersecurity team, gives your district a running start — a full year-round campaign calendar, ready-to-use templates, staff communication guides, and engagement activities, all built to be copied and adapted for your own district.
Everything lives in Canva. No software required to browse — you'll need a free Canva account to copy and edit the templates.
