IT Support for Schools and Nonprofits

As an educational institution or nonprofit organization, you deal with a large volume of sensitive data, including student and donor records, financial information, research results, and more. To maintain trust with clients, families, and the general public, you must implement comprehensive cybersecurity measures that protect this information from nefarious users, accidental deletion, or other cyberthreats. A security breach can expose private student data or sensitive information. This can cause significant harm to your reputation, land you in legal hot water, and even subject you to fines and litigation.

At neKey, we align our IT support for schools and nonprofit organizations with your specific regulatory requirements. Whether you’re navigating NIST, CMMC 2.0, or HIPAA, we’ll help you protect your sensitive information and keep it out of the wrong hands.

Integrating robust cybersecurity measures doesn’t just protect your organization from compliance infringements. They are an essential safeguard against disruption. If malicious users breach sensitive data, it can impact student learning and nonprofit operations.

Dealing with technical issues can be challenging, especially for schools and nonprofits that spend most of their time and resources on educating students and supporting their communities. Teachers, staff, and administrators don’t always have the technical training to navigate tricky IT issues on their own.

NeKey provides 24×7 IT support for schools and nonprofits that helps them keep their systems online and allows them to focus on doing good work. We know that IT issues are frustrating and tend to occur at the worst of times. We’ll help you resolve your issues swiftly and professionally, no matter when an IT issue arises.

Because schools and nonprofits often handle sensitive information like student records or financial data, they make attractive targets for cybercriminals. Proper cybersecurity awareness training ensures that your teachers, staff, and nonprofit volunteers know that the data you collect and store is highly sought after, and it gives them the ability to identify cyberthreats like phishing attacks or ransomware.

NeKey’s cybersecurity awareness training helps your organization mitigate cyber risks and maintain compliance. We recommend that your staff undergo quarterly awareness training—cyberthreats are constantly evolving, and you must ensure your organization is prepared for them.

Cloud computing is an essential part of any modern organization. It improves flexibility, scalability, and accessibility while bolstering your security protocol and data storage capabilities.

NeKey’s managed cloud computing services for nonprofits and educational institutions are the perfect way to establish and maintain a cost-effective IT infrastructure. Physical, on-premise systems can be convoluted, expensive, and difficult to maintain, but neKey’s managed cloud services allow you to only pay for the services you need and scale your level of service up or down as needed. This makes it easier to match resources to fluctuating needs.

Our cloud services also allow you to access pertinent information from any device with an internet connection. This is particularly useful for organizations with a distributed workforce or students and faculty who need to access resources from multiple locations. The improved accessibility and flexibility offered by our cloud services can help your nonprofit or educational institution better your community.
