THE EDUCATION IT CHALLENGE

Educational institutions manage some of the most sensitive personal data in existence — student records, minor information, family data — with some of the most constrained IT budgets and least experienced users of any sector.

01

Student data carries special legal protections — and special liability

FERPA, COPPA, and state student privacy laws govern how student data is stored, accessed, and shared. A single misconfigured system or unauthorized disclosure triggers notification requirements, regulatory review, and potential loss of federal funding.

02

Schools are the most targeted public sector for ransomware

Attackers target education specifically because of large student populations, sensitive data, constrained IT teams, and the operational pressure to restore systems quickly for the school day. Ransomware that hits on a Sunday night shuts down Monday morning.

03

BYOD and 1:1 device programs create uncontrolled endpoints

Student and faculty devices that access school networks and systems — whether school-issued or personal — represent hundreds of potential entry points that most education IT environments can't adequately monitor or secure.

04

Technology downtime disrupts instruction — and parent trust

When classroom technology, learning management systems, or communication platforms go down, instruction stops and parents notice. In competitive private and charter school environments, IT reliability is a reputation issue, not just an operational one.

Silotech Education IT eliminates every one of these — FERPA-compliant data protection, ransomware-resistant architecture, device management, and instruction-first uptime — built for the specific demands of educational environments.

WHAT WE DO

Every IT function your institution needs. Student-data-aware by design

FERPA

FERPA-Compliant IT Management

Student education record controls, access logging, and data handling procedures aligned to FERPA requirements — maintained and documented for institutional compliance and audit readiness.

SECURITY

Ransomware-Resistant Architecture

Offsite backup, immutable recovery points, and 24/7 monitoring — designed specifically to survive a ransomware attack and restore full operations before the school day begins.

MDM deployment, content filtering, patch management, and security configuration for school-issued devices — Chromebooks, iPads, Windows, and Mac — across every classroom and student.

Infrastructure and support for Google Workspace for Education, Microsoft 365 Education, Canvas, Schoology, and other learning management systems — keeping instruction technology available and performing.

HELP DESK

Faculty & Staff Help Desk

Patient, responsive support for educators and administrators — fast enough to resolve issues before class starts and professional enough to treat every call like the instruction time it represents.

WHY SILOTECH

We protect students, support educators, and keep technology in its proper role — serving learning, not interrupting it.

FERPA and student privacy built into every configuration decision

We design access controls, data handling procedures, and vendor agreements with student privacy requirements as the starting constraint — not the compliance review after the fact.

Ransomware recovery before the school day begins

Our backup architecture and recovery procedures are built around school operational timelines — tested and documented to restore full learning environments within hours, not days.

Support that respects the instructional environment

Our help desk team understands that a teacher's time is instruction time. Fast, patient, non-technical-jargon support that resolves issues without making educators feel judged for asking.

Education technology discounts maximized as a standard practice

Microsoft 365 Education, Google Workspace for Education, and E-Rate eligible services — we build your technology plan around every discount and funding source available to qualifying institutions.
