IT challenges for schools and education providers
Education providers hold a lot of personal information: student records, assessment results, reports, medical notes, family contacts and payment details. Much of it now lives in cloud platforms such as Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace for Education, plus a student or learning management system.
Device fleets are another challenge. Laptops, iPads and Chromebooks need to be enrolled, updated, filtered and recovered when students move on. Staff need simple, secure access from school, home or a training room.
Online safety matters too. Content filtering, safe settings for younger students and clear account controls are part of keeping students safe, and part of what families expect.

Compliance and obligations we help you meet
Independent schools, tutoring businesses and training providers each have different obligations. These are the common ones that involve IT.
- Privacy Act 1988 and Notifiable Data Breaches scheme: many independent schools and larger education providers are covered by the Privacy Act. Covered organisations must protect personal information and report eligible data breaches. Student and family data deserves that level of care either way.
- Student and training records: registered training organisations must keep student and assessment records under the Standards for RTOs, and schools have their own record-keeping requirements. We keep records backed up, secure and retrievable.
- Online safety and child protection: the eSafety Commissioner publishes guidance for schools, and child safe standards cover how technology is used. We help with filtering, account controls and device settings.
- Cloud platform settings: Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace for Education need careful sharing, retention and account settings to keep student data private. We set them up and review them regularly.
- Ransomware payment reporting: under the Cyber Security Act 2024, businesses with annual turnover over $3 million must report any ransomware payment to the Australian Signals Directorate within 72 hours. Good backups and security make it far less likely you ever face that choice.

Common questions
Do you work with government schools?
Our education support is for independent schools, tutoring businesses, colleges and training providers. Government schools generally use their department’s own IT services.
Can you manage student laptops, iPads and Chromebooks?
Yes. We enrol devices into central management so apps, settings, updates and filtering are applied automatically, and devices can be reset or recovered when students leave.
Do you support Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace for Education?
Yes. We set up accounts, groups, sharing and security settings, and help with onboarding and offboarding each term or intake.
How do you keep students safe online?
We use web filtering, age-appropriate settings and account controls, and help you set clear rules for how devices and accounts are used.
