Education

Safe, reliable technology for every learner

Schools and universities must keep thousands of students, staff and devices connected while safeguarding sensitive records and young users. We provide security, identity and managed IT support that fit education budgets and calendars, so learning continues and student data stays protected.

Sector pressures

What makes IT different here

  • Open campuses, many devices

    Students bring personal laptops and phones, and guests and visitors use the same networks. Securing that without blocking learning is a daily balance.

  • Ransomware and data theft

    Education is a frequent target, and stolen student and staff records carry long-lasting harm for families. Attacks often land during exams or enrollment.

  • Small teams, big estates

    A district or college may have a handful of technicians supporting thousands of users, with seasonal peaks and little security specialization.

  • Privacy rules for minors

    Children's data triggers stricter obligations. Learning tools and vendors must be vetted before they touch student records.

Regulations & frameworks

The standards we help you meet

FERPA
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act protects student education records and gives parents and eligible students rights over access and disclosure.
COPPA
The Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule restricts collection of personal information from children under 13 and shapes how schools can consent on behalf of parents for educational tools.
CIPA
The Children's Internet Protection Act requires schools and libraries receiving E-rate discounts to filter harmful content and maintain internet safety policies.
NIST CSF
A voluntary framework that helps institutions assess and improve cybersecurity maturity, frequently used to guide district and campus programs.
PCI DSS
Applies where schools and universities accept card payments for tuition, meals, bookstores or events, setting rules for protecting cardholder data.

Our approach

How we work with education organizations

  1. 1

    Understand the calendar and the campus

    We map your systems, user groups and critical periods such as enrollment and exams, then plan changes around the academic year.

  2. 2

    Secure identity and devices

    Single sign-on, multi-factor authentication for staff and managed devices reduce account takeover without burdening young learners.

  3. 3

    Vet vendors and protect records

    A structured review of learning platforms and data-sharing agreements helps you align to FERPA and COPPA before student data is shared.

  4. 4

    Support and monitor

    Our service desk and 24/7 SOC extend your small team, with escalation paths that respect school hours and safeguarding duties.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Anything else? Send us a message or ask our assistant.

Can you help with E-rate and CIPA requirements?

We design and manage content filtering and internet safety controls consistent with CIPA, and document them so you can support your E-rate compliance. Eligibility and filing decisions remain with your institution.

How do you protect student records under FERPA?

We apply access controls, encryption and logging to systems holding education records, and help you review which vendors may receive that data and under what agreements.

Do you support both K-12 and higher education?

Yes. K-12 work emphasizes filtering, safeguarding and device management; higher education emphasizes open networks, research data and a complex identity landscape.

Can you work around term time?

Yes. We schedule disruptive changes for breaks and keep freeze periods around enrollment, exams and results, so technology work never competes with teaching.
