Frequently Asked Questions

More Information

Yes. Red Herring is hosted at the San Diego County Office of Education (SDCOE) Data Center and you will only need to import your users in order to start sending them simulated phishing emails.

County Offices of Education (COEs) will have the functionality to set up sub-accounts for multiple school districts and/or schools and allow them a specific number of users.

SDCOE will need a memorandum of understanding from your COE or district superintendent, and staff from your IT leadership team would need to meet with the SDCOE Cybersecurity team. There may be an annual subscription fee required. Please contact the SDCOE Cybersecurity team for further info.
