Education
Education IT and security — student data, campus safety, real budgets.
K-12 districts and small higher-ed institutions face an unfair fight: enterprise-class threats, public funding, and student populations that test every control. We run managed IT, Huntress-backed cybersecurity, content filtering, and campus physical security with FERPA, CIPA, and state-specific requirements aligned.
What we see in education.
Student devices outside the perimeter
1:1 student device programs put thousands of endpoints outside the school network. We extend visibility with proper MDM, Huntress Managed EDR, and conditional access policies that work without a VPN.
FERPA + CIPA + state laws in operational tension
FERPA requires protecting student records; CIPA requires content filtering; state laws layer additional consent rules. Aligning all three to actual operations — not just policy — is where we work.
Campus security that nobody monitors
Cameras installed five years ago, nobody watches them, footage is gone before anyone asks. We deploy Verkada or Salient with retention sized to legal hold requirements and integrate with access control.
Frameworks & regulatory context.
FERPA
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act protections for student records — access management, audit logging, retention.
CIPA
Children's Internet Protection Act content filtering for federally-funded K-12 environments. We deploy and tune filtering that meets the spirit of the rule without breaking legitimate learning.
Huntress Managed SAT
Security awareness training adapted for educator-friendly delivery. Phishing simulations help staff become harder to compromise.
ReferenceWhat we deploy for education.
Cybersecurity (Huntress)
Huntress Managed EDR, ITDR, SIEM, SAT. 24/7 SOC for incident response across student + staff environments.
ExploreNetwork Design
Multi-building campus WiFi, VLAN segmentation (admin / staff / student / IoT), guest isolation.
ExplorePhysical Security
Campus cameras + access control with retention sized to incident review timelines.
ExploreGoogle Workspace
Workspace for Education administration — student accounts, classroom integrations, parent consent flows.
ExploreMicrosoft 365
M365 Education tenancies — Intune device policy, Defender, Entra ID, license optimization.
ExplorevCISO
District or campus vCISO — cyber insurance renewal support, FERPA risk assessments, board-ready reporting.
ExploreEducation FAQ
Do you work with K-12 districts or higher ed?
Both, with a leaning toward smaller K-12 districts (under 5,000 students) and small higher-ed institutions where a full internal IT team isn't available. We bring enterprise-grade tooling without enterprise overhead.
How do you handle student device 1:1 programs?
Intune (M365) or Google MDM for device enrollment, compliance policies, app deployment. Huntress Managed EDR on every device for outside-perimeter visibility. Conditional access policies for resources.
What about cyber insurance for districts?
K-12 cyber insurance has become difficult. vCISO engagements support renewal questionnaires, evidence packages, and the specific controls (MFA, EDR, backup, SAT) carriers now demand.
Can you support our SIS or LMS?
We support the operating environment around them — identity, network, workstations, security. SIS / LMS application support stays with those vendors; we make sure the surrounding environment is sound.
