Open campuses.
Locked-down data.

Open networks, shared devices, and student data make schools a favorite target. We deliver secure, manageable IT that holds up to a distributed, high-turnover user base, from the classroom and the lab to the student information system.

The challenge

What makes education hard to secure.

Schools run open by design and turn over a large share of their users every year. That combination creates gaps the average business never has to think about.

Open by design

Networks built for access

Guest Wi-Fi, personal devices, dorms, and classrooms mean thousands of endpoints you don't own connect every day. The perimeter is porous on purpose, and attackers know it.

Shared devices

Many hands, one laptop

Carts, labs, and library kiosks pass between dozens of users a day. Sessions overlap, local data lingers, and a single misconfigured machine becomes a shared risk.

Regulated data

Student records under FERPA

Grades, health notes, and personal information carry legal handling and disclosure obligations. A lost laptop or exposed folder isn't just an IT problem — it's a reportable event.

Constant turnover

A new cohort every year

Onboarding and offboarding happen at scale every term. Without disciplined identity management, stale accounts pile up, and each one is an unlocked door.

What we deliver

Secure IT tuned to how a campus runs.

The same disciplined managed-IT and security foundation our other clients run, configured for shared devices, open networks, and a user base that changes every year.

Questions

Frequently asked questions.

Do you work within FERPA requirements?

Yes. We map controls to how student records must be handled under FERPA — classification, encryption, access limits, and monitoring, and keep the documentation current, so an audit or a disclosure question has a clear answer instead of a scramble.

How do you manage shared and lab devices?

We image and enroll them in mobile device management, then apply lockdown and session policy so each machine boots to a known-good state and leaves no local data behind. Carts, labs, and library kiosks are managed as a fleet, not one machine at a time.

Can you keep student and staff networks separate?

Yes. We segment the network so staff, student, guest, and IoT traffic run on separate paths, each filtered and monitored — which contains problems and keeps a compromised student device away from administrative systems.

How do you handle the turnover every school year?

Identity is provisioned and de-provisioned on a schedule tied to enrollment and employment. New cohorts get access on day one; departing users lose it on their last day, so stale accounts don't accumulate into an unmonitored attack surface.

Do you support the software schools actually run?

We support the infrastructure underneath them — network, servers, identity, and the Microsoft 365 or Google environments common in education — and work alongside your SIS and LMS platform vendors, hardening the tenant, managing licensing, and monitoring the pieces that hold student and staff data.
