For Schools & Academies

IT & cyber security for schools & academies

A school's network carries pupil data, safeguarding records and the filtering that keeps children safe online. We keep it dependable, documented and ready for inspection.

Built for your sector

Safeguarding-aware IT for schools, academies and multi-academy trusts.

We bring the same enterprise-grade habits (security by default, monitoring, documentation) that bigger firms rely on, sized and priced for a business like yours.

Scope

If it is not business IT

Dacros looks after business technology, so if the machine that needs help is a household or personal one, our sibling practice JorTech handles that kind of repair. If what you are really after is a website or better search visibility rather than IT support, that is our other sibling practice, VerySEOly.
