Schools and education organizations

Education IT Services

Schools run on thin staff and a lot of devices. Secure Techies supports education organizations with practical IT, student-data hygiene, and a help desk that answers before the bell.

Why this industry is different

More devices than people to watch them

Labs, teacher laptops, and admin systems all share a small IT budget. The plan has to be ruthless about what actually matters.

  1. 01

    Student data is regulated

    FERPA and California student-privacy rules expect access control and a story for vendors. Shared admin logins fail that test.

  2. 02

    Ransomware loves schools

    Attackers know districts and private schools often patch late. Backups and email security are the cheap insurance.

  3. 03

    Academic calendar

    You cannot rebuild the SIS the week before opening day. We schedule around the year you actually run.

What is in the plan

Everything we do for schools

Staff identity, classroom devices, and a calendar that respects opening week.

Campus and staff

  • Staff help desk
    Tickets that get answered before the bell.
  • Faculty laptops
    Patching, encryption, and a replace-when-it-dies process.
  • Lab imaging as a project
    Before the year starts — not every Tuesday.
  • On-site SoCal
    Independent campuses from Canoga Park.

Student data

  • Google Workspace or Microsoft 365
    We harden the platform you already chose.
  • Student-data hygiene
    Least privilege, vendor inventory, no shared admin as the long-term plan.
  • Backups
    SIS environment, mail, and files with restore tests.

The school year

  • Calendar-aware change
    Risky work sits in the breaks. Opening week is not a maintenance window.

IT support for schools and education organizations

Secure Techies provides education IT services for campuses and education organizations that need student-data hygiene and systems that survive opening week.

We work most often with independent schools, training organizations, and education nonprofits — not a 50-site public district that already has its own IT shop. FERPA guidance is the student-privacy baseline. Organizations that look more like a charity than a campus usually fit nonprofit IT.

What a right-sized school plan includes

  • Staff help desk that answers before the bell
  • Hardening of the platform you already chose — Google Workspace for Education or Microsoft 365
  • Least privilege, vendor inventory, and no shared admin as the long-term plan
  • Faculty laptop standards: patching, encryption, a replace-when-it-dies process
  • Lab imaging as a project before the year starts, not an every-Tuesday surprise
  • Restore tests for the SIS environment, mail, and files
  • Change windows in the breaks. Opening week is not a maintenance window

We do not mine student data. We do not pretend a 40-person school needs a district NOC.

Why this team

How we work with schools

We support private schools, training organizations, and education nonprofits more often than large public districts — and we say so.

  • Right-sized

    A 40-person school does not need a district NOC. It needs MFA, backups, and someone who answers.

  • Student privacy without theater

    Least privilege, vendor inventory, and encryption. See FERPA guidance from the U.S. Department of Education.

  • Local

    On-site from Canoga Park across Southern California.

  • Nonprofit overlap

    Many schools are also nonprofits. See nonprofit IT.

Education IT questions

Do you work with K-12 public school districts?
Large district environments usually have their own IT shops. We more often support private schools, independent campuses, and education organizations that need an outsourced team.
Can you support Google Workspace for Education or Microsoft 365?
Yes. Identity, device standards, backups, and security hardening on the platform you already chose.
How do you handle student data?
Least privilege, no shared admin accounts, vendor inventory, encryption, and a written process for access requests. We do not mine student data.
Do you provide classroom device imaging?
Yes, as a scoped project — usually before the school year — not as an every-Tuesday surprise.
Where do you provide education IT support?
Southern California on-site, remote for multi-campus groups.
