In today’s digital school environments, IT admin accounts are high-value targets for cyberattacks. These accounts hold the keys to everything—from staff credentials and student data to domain-wide policies. That’s why enforcing two-factor authentication (2FA) across all admin-level access in Google Workspace isn’t just recommended—it’s essential. This extra layer of verification significantly reduces the risk of breaches, even if a password is stolen.

By requiring 2FA enforcement (not just allowing it), schools can ensure that critical accounts are protected by strong identity verification protocols, like SMS codes, app-based prompts, or physical security keys. This step not only meets rising compliance standards (FERPA, COPPA, and CISA guidelines) but also builds trust among staff and stakeholders that sensitive data is properly secured.

At Get Set Tech, we help schools lock down their most sensitive access points. Whether you’re rolling out 2FA across a district or need help enforcing it in your Admin OU, our security-focused Workspace services will ensure your environment is resilient, compliant, and protected by default.
