Colleges and universities are expected to deliver secure, always-available technology across classrooms, administrative offices, residence halls, research environments, and remote learning—often with lean IT teams and limited budgets. Splashwire provides the people, processes, and technology to operate, secure, and modernize the entire environment.
Splashwire can complement your internal team or serve as a fully managed IT department. We bring together service desk support, infrastructure and cloud operations, cybersecurity, compliance guidance, strategic planning, vendor management, and project delivery under one accountable partner.
Our goal is simple: reduce the operational load on campus IT, strengthen institutional resilience, and give your team more time to focus on students, faculty, research, and the academic mission.
Lean IT teams should not have to choose between daily support and strategic progress. Splashwire provides 24×7 monitoring, help desk and escalation support, endpoint and server management, network and cloud operations, backup and recovery, vendor coordination, and lifecycle planning. Services can fill a specific skills gap, provide after-hours coverage, or take responsibility for the complete technology environment.
The Cynet security stack consolidates endpoint, identity, network, cloud, detection and response capabilities into a unified platform backed by 24×7 managed detection and response. This gives resource-constrained institutions stronger visibility, automated containment, and access to security specialists without the cost and complexity of building a campus security operations center or managing a patchwork of point products.
Higher-education institutions must protect student, financial-aid, payment, research, and employee data. Splashwire helps align governance, policies, risk assessments, technical safeguards, monitoring, incident response, and audit evidence with obligations such as the GLBA Safeguards Rule for Title IV-participating institutions, FERPA, PCI DSS, cyber insurance requirements, and recognized frameworks such as NIST. Cynet supports many of the technical controls and reporting capabilities needed for a defensible security and compliance program.
When aging infrastructure can no longer be refreshed one component at a time, Splashwire can plan and execute a complete “forklift” upgrade. We assess the current environment, design and procure the replacement platform, stage and test it, migrate workloads and data, manage cutover and rollback planning, document the new environment, and support it after launch—across servers, storage, virtualization, networking, wireless, backup, cloud, and campus facilities.
Our fractional vCIO and vCISO services help campus leaders turn technology needs into a practical multi-year roadmap. We support budgeting, governance, policy development, board and cabinet communication, risk prioritization, procurement, and major project oversight so investments remain aligned with institutional goals and financial realities.
