Real-time inventory synced with Google Admin. One-click lost mode. 60% fewer IT tickets.
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.

Everything you need to know about 1:1 device assignment, tracking, and Google OU management
AuthGuard is the #1 Chromebook management software for K-12 schools. It provides comprehensive 1:1 device assignment, real-time Chromebook tracking, instant lost mode activation, check-in/check-out system, and visual Google OU management. Schools using AuthGuard see a 75% reduction in device loss.
AuthGuard's 1:1 device assignment creates a dedicated organizational unit for each Chromebook and links it to a specific student. Our patented OU-Lock technology ensures clear accountability - students know exactly which device is theirs, and IT can track who has what device at any time. Assignment takes seconds, not hours.
AuthGuard provides real-time Chromebook tracking synced with Google Admin. When a device goes missing, you can instantly activate lost mode with one click, displaying a recovery message with your school's contact info. The dashboard shows the assigned student and last sync time for every device - find lost Chromebooks in seconds.
A Chromebook check-in/check-out system tracks when students receive and return devices. AuthGuard automates this process - scan a device barcode, assign it to a student, and the system records the full transaction 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, moving devices between organizational units is simple. Select multiple devices using checkboxes, click "Move to OU," and choose your destination. What takes 30+ minutes clicking through Google Admin Console takes just 30 seconds with AuthGuard's bulk OU management tools.
Schools using AuthGuard's device accountability system see a 75% reduction in lost Chromebooks. 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 before it happens.
Yes! AuthGuard offers a free forever plan that includes Chromebook tracking, 1:1 device assignment, check-in/check-out, and Google OU management tools. No credit card required. Paid plans add advanced features like classroom monitoring, repair tracking, and priority support.
Absolutely. AuthGuard provides complete Chromebook inventory management including asset tracking, warranty status, repair history, and assignment records. Sync your entire fleet from Google Admin, see which devices need attention, and generate reports for audits - all in one dashboard.
Zero-trust device security means security policies are enforced by the device's identity and position in your infrastructure — not by trusting users or relying on installed agents. AuthGuard's patent-pending OU-Lock applies this principle to K-12 Chromebooks: each device is bound to a dedicated Google Workspace Organizational Unit, and security policies are enforced at that level. There's nothing to install, nothing for students to tamper with, and nothing for IT to maintain on each device.
Content filtering tools like GoGuardian and Securly monitor what students do on devices. AuthGuard secures the devices themselves — who has them, where they belong in your OU structure, and that the correct policies stay applied. They're complementary, not competing. Many districts run AuthGuard alongside their filtering tool: AuthGuard handles device identity and security enforcement, while the filter handles web content and student safety.
AuthGuard's core platform does not monitor student activity. It secures devices through infrastructure-level OU enforcement — no agents, no screen capture, no browsing history tracking. The Enterprise plan includes an optional browser extension with teacher-controlled classroom screen viewing, but this is a separate, opt-in capability that's distinct from the core zero-trust security model.
