Yes. Pantheon’s flat-rate managed IT model is predictable and often costs less than the true cost of an in-house IT hire when you factor in salary, benefits, training, and coverage gaps. Nonprofits also benefit from Microsoft’s nonprofit licensing programs, which Pantheon can help navigate.

Schools must comply with FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) for student records and COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act) for services used by children under 13. Pantheon helps schools implement access controls, data governance policies, and secure technology environments aligned with these requirements.

Pantheon implements access controls limiting who can view student records, audit logging of data access, secure email and file-sharing practices, and data classification policies distinguishing directory information from protected records.

Nonprofits with 10 or more staff typically need: reliable workstations and servers with monitoring, Microsoft 365 licensing and management, security baseline (endpoint protection, email filtering, MFA), backup and recovery, help desk support, and vCIO technology planning to make budget decisions in advance.

Pantheon’s flat monthly fee makes IT costs predictable and eliminates emergency repair surprises. Pantheon also helps nonprofits access Microsoft’s nonprofit licensing programs, which can significantly reduce software costs, and uses vCIO planning to avoid surprise capital expenditures.

Yes. Pantheon’s Fully Managed IT model can fill this gap entirely for nonprofits and schools with no internal IT. Alternatively, the Co-Managed model can support an existing technology coordinator with monitoring, security, and strategic planning.
