Education - Protect and Restore Your Critical Data

Safeguard student and faculty data with immutable, air-gapped backups.

What We Can Do for You

Educational organizations, from K-12 schools to universities, are increasingly targeted by cyber threats. The vast amounts of sensitive information they store, including student and staff identities, health records, and financial data, make them attractive targets for cybercriminals. Combined with limited IT personnel and constrained budgets, this often results in weaker cybersecurity than that of most businesses. As a result, implementing strong data protection measures is essential.

At Assured Data Protection, we help educational organizations safeguard sensitive data, meet regulatory demands, and recover swiftly from disasters, outages, and cyberattacks, without burdening internal IT resources.

Our comprehensive managed service provides immutable, air-gapped backups, automated and compliant disaster recovery, and a 24/7/365 expert support team. Our solutions offer essential data protection, real-time anomaly detection, and sensitive data monitoring that automates visibility into where sensitive data is stored.

The Pain Points Assured Solves
