Cybersecurity
Tech Reformers offers cybersecurity services to free up IT to focus on core strategic operations and innovation. Today, with limited personnel and time along with ever-increasing IT demands, it makes sense to use managed services for certain areas. Tech Reformers will team with the district or completely run select operations.
Tech Reformers focuses on managing in the cloud:
- Backup and Disaster Recovery
- Cybersecurity
- Wireless networks
- Edge Network (Secure Access Service Edge “SASE”)
- Student Safety
How to get started?
Assess your IT
Start by completing an assessment of technology
A good place to start on a security journey may be an overall IT and EdTech Assessment to get another set of eyes on how your strategy, operations, Edtech, and IT are aligned. During the process, we can help discover what services need improvement and what may be targeted to use Managed Services.
Our IT and EdTech consulting and assessment provide an extensive evaluation. We deliver specific recommendations to your district. IT and EdTech consulting help align technology resources to District priorities.
Assess your security.
It is imperative to take a deep look into cybersecurity and campus security in your district.
Tech Reformers believes cybersecurity is the cornerstone for K-12 Cloud Transformation. Student and staff security is a fundamental requirement. School systems want to minimize risk and ensure data privacy for all their /students and staff. Tech Reformers provides cybersecurity assessment services so you can effectively measure, manage and remediate risks. Our cybersecurity assessment uses established security and risk frameworks (e.g. NIST) to identify risk in four areas. District IT and other leaders provide evidence that standards are met. Security professionals at Tech Reformers vet and certify that standards are met.
In sum, our assessment will help meet requirements for a safe and secure environment and expectations for a security audit.
