Univision Computers

Education IT Services & FERPA & CIPA-Focused IT Support

Secure, Reliable Technology for K-12 Schools, Private & Charter Schools, Districts, Colleges & Training Organizations

In education, downtime isn’t just an inconvenience. It’s lost instructional time and disrupted learning. A frozen student information system on report-card day, a ransomware-locked network, or a single phished email exposing student records can halt classrooms, breach student privacy, trigger FERPA concerns, and put a strain on already-tight budgets.

Univision Computers delivers fast, proactive, security-focused IT services designed specifically for schools and education organizations, at pricing that respects tight budgets and grant timelines. Since 1989, we’ve helped schools eliminate downtime, protect student data, meet FERPA and CIPA requirements, and modernize everything from student information systems and classroom devices to Wi-Fi and VoIP, all backed by our 15-minute response guarantee.

School Wi-Fi & Network Infrastructure

Reliable, secure, high-density networks that cover classrooms, libraries, gyms, and campuses, with segmentation that separates student, staff, and guest traffic, content filtering built in, and E-Rate-eligible infrastructure designed for testing days and 1:1 programs.

Backup, Disaster Recovery & Ransomware Readiness

Hybrid and cloud backups, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace backup, disaster recovery testing, and ransomware recovery planning, so one bad click doesn’t shut down classrooms or become a student-data breach.

Education VoIP & Unified Communications

Student Data Privacy, FERPA & CIPA Compliance

Protect student records and support your compliance obligations with a layered program built for schools: FERPA-conscious data privacy controls, CIPA-required content filtering, encryption at rest and in transit, MFA, Zero Trust access, managed firewalls, MDR endpoint protection, email security, and phishing simulation, with documented policies that support FERPA, CIPA, and E-Rate requirements.

The Cost of Getting Education IT Wrong

  • $3.65M: Average cost of an education-sector data breach (IBM)
  • Lost instructional time: Network and system outages take teachers and students offline and disrupt testing
  • FERPA and CIPA exposure: Poor data handling or missing content filtering can jeopardize student privacy and federal funding
  • A top ransomware target: Schools are among the most-attacked sectors, often with limited defenses and budgets

Don’t wait for a lost testing day or a breach notification letter. Proactive IT is the most affordable IT.
