Educational institutions and EdTech companies handle vast amounts of student personal data — making them increasingly attractive targets for cybercriminals and ransomware gangs. Crewtec helps universities, schools, and EdTech platforms implement robust data protection frameworks, achieve ISO 27001 certification, and comply with India's DPDPA 2023.

Industry-specific threats and compliance gaps that our consultants see repeatedly.
India's DPDPA 2023 treats children's data with heightened protection requirements. Educational institutions collecting student data must implement specific consent and security controls.
Universities with large, open networks are frequent ransomware targets. Research data, examination systems, and administrative records have all been compromised in recent attacks.
Online learning platforms handle student PII, payment data, and learning records — all requiring secure development practices, VAPT, and privacy controls.
Students and faculty connecting personal devices to institutional networks create significant endpoint security challenges.
Services we typically deploy for Education & EdTech organisations, based on regulatory requirements and risk profile.
