Your students and faculty count on you.
We make sure you can count on your technology.
Phishing emails hitting your teachers’ inboxes. Malicious websites students accidentally stumbling onto. Ransomware lying in wait for the wrong click. This isn’t hypothetical, it’s happening to schools across Tampa Bay every single day.
The worst part? Traditional security tools leave gaps. A student on home Wi-Fi. A teacher on a hotspot. A guest connection in the library. That’s all it takes.
You didn’t get into education to manage cybersecurity. You got into it to teach, to mentor, and to shape the next generation. That’s your job. Protecting your faculty and students from digital threats? That’s ours.

Most IT Companies Send Alerts.
We Send Solutions.
Here’s how most IT companies handle security: they detect a threat, send you an email saying something might be wrong, and leave you to figure it out. That’s not security. That’s panic waiting to happen.
ShowTech is different. Our Security Operations Center (SOC) backs every alert with, Visibility, Validation, and Remediation.
Meaning, you know exactly what’s happening, we confirm it’s actually a threat (not just a false alarm), and we give you clear guidance on what to do next.
We’re not here to scare you. We’re here to make sure the bad guys never get close enough to scare your people.

Check the CIPA Complaince Box Without the Headaches
The Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) requires schools receiving E-Rate funding to have internet safety policies and technology protections in place. Miss it? You risk federal funding. More importantly, you risk your students’ safety online.
ShowTech makes CIPA compliance simple. Our security stack is built to meet those requirements out of the box. This includes content filtering, user monitoring, and documented protection measures that keep your school compliant and your students safe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our school has a very limited IT budget. Can ShowTech realistically help us?
Absolutely. That’s exactly why we build with education-friendly pricing. You get enterprise-grade security tools, CIPA-compliant filtering, backup, and training bundled into one predictable cost. Many schools find it’s far more cost-effective than piecing together multiple vendors or trying to manage it in-house.
What is CIPA compliance and does ShowTech help with it?
CIPA — the Children’s Internet Protection Act — requires schools receiving federal E-Rate funding to implement internet safety measures, including content filtering. ShowTech’s Faculty Security+ bundle is built to meet those requirements, filtering harmful content across all devices, on and off campus, without needing a VPN.
How does ShowTech protect student and staff data?
We implement layered cybersecurity including multi-factor authentication, email security, encrypted backups, and 24/7 monitoring. Our team understands the sensitivity of student records and the obligations schools have under FERPA and other regulations, and we design our solutions to support those requirements.
Can ShowTech support schools that use both Google Workspace and Microsoft 365?
Yes. Our team works across both platforms and can back up, monitor, and secure email, drives, and collaboration tools regardless of which ecosystem your school uses — or both, if that’s your setup.
What makes ShowTech's threat response different from other IT companies?
Most companies just send you an alert and leave you to figure it out. ShowTech’s SOC-backed response means when a threat is detected, you get clear guidance on what to do — not just a warning that something might be wrong.
