Real-time inventory synced with Google Admin. One-click lost mode. Full device accountability.
Device identity enforcement, 1:1 assignment, automated compliance, and OU-level security.
Three steps from deployment to automated compliance — no agents, no surveillance, no complexity.
Each Chromebook is assigned a dedicated Organizational Unit in Google Workspace. The device's identity becomes its security policy — no user action required.
OU-Lock enforces security policies at the Google Workspace level. Filtering rules, app restrictions, and network policies stay applied — even if someone tries to move the device.
Whoever has the device gets the correct security policies. No manual configuration per user. No agents to install or maintain. Compliance without trusting people — zero burden on anyone.
Unlike agent-based tools that install software on every device and rely on monitoring student behavior, AuthGuard secures devices at the infrastructure level. Security is enforced by architecture, not surveillance.

Quick answers about device management, security, and getting started.
AuthGuard is the #1 Chromebook management platform for K-12. It provides 1:1 device assignment, real-time tracking, instant lost mode, check-in/check-out, and visual Google OU management. Schools see a 75% reduction in device loss.
Each Chromebook gets a dedicated OU and is linked to a specific student. Our patent-pending OU-Lock ensures clear accountability — students know which device is theirs, IT can track who has what. Assignment takes seconds.
AuthGuard syncs with Google Admin in real-time. When a device goes missing, activate lost mode with one click — it displays a recovery message with your school's contact info. See the assigned student and last sync time instantly.
It tracks when students receive and return devices. Scan a barcode, assign to a student, and the system records the full history. At year-end, check devices back in with a complete audit trail of who had each device and when.
With AuthGuard's Visual OU Explorer, select multiple devices, click "Move to OU," and choose your destination. What takes 30+ minutes in Google Admin Console takes 30 seconds with bulk OU management.
Clear 1:1 assignment means students know they're responsible for their specific device. Real-time tracking, instant lost mode, and visible checkout history create accountability that prevents loss. Districts see 75% less device loss.
Yes! AuthGuard's free forever plan includes device tracking, 1:1 assignment, check-in/check-out, Google OU management, and a free Chrome extension that blocks AI and cheating sites. No credit card required. Paid plans add repair tracking, advanced analytics, and priority support.
Complete asset tracking: warranty status, repair history, assignment records, and fleet analytics. Sync your entire fleet from Google Admin, see which devices need attention, and generate audit reports — all in one dashboard.
Security policies enforced by device identity, not user trust or installed agents. AuthGuard's patent-pending OU-Lock binds each Chromebook to a dedicated Google OU. Nothing to install, nothing to tamper with, nothing for IT to maintain per device.
Filters monitor what students do. AuthGuard secures the devices themselves — who has them, where they belong in your OU structure, and that policies stay applied. They're complementary. Many districts run both together.
The core platform does not monitor student activity. OU-Lock secures devices at the infrastructure level — no agents, no screen capture, no browsing history tracking. It's a completely separate technology from monitoring.
We also offer a free Chrome extension that blocks AI chatbots, cheating sites, and distractions — no tracking, no monitoring, just content blocking. It's completely free with any AuthGuard account.
For districts that want visibility, the Enterprise plan includes an optional monitoring extension — a separate add-on with real-time classroom screen view, AI-powered screen time analytics, per-student productivity scores, and keyword alerts. It deploys via Google Admin and only runs during school hours. This is entirely separate from the core platform and the free extension.
