Implementation Services for K-12

    Getting started with Zero Trust SASE doesn't have to be overwhelming. The iboss onboarding team is here to guide K-12 schools through the essential first steps, so you can deploy with confidence, gain value quickly, and scale securely.

    The Challenge

    Many schools need to adopt cloud services for access and security but lack the in-house expertise to confidently begin the transition from legacy on-premises solutions. Others may have the expertise but face resource constraints or competing priorities.

    With iboss onboarding services, we help schools take the critical first steps—providing guidance on identity integration, policy configuration, and connectivity setup. Our flexible onboarding packages ensure your teams are enabled quickly, so you can deploy securely, scale at your pace, and align with best practices from the start.

    Expert Guidance

    The onboarding engineers on the iboss team have supported thousands of clients in getting started with the iboss platform, bringing specialized expertise to K-12 environments.

    Our Onboarding Process

    A structured approach to ensure successful deployment and adoption

    Planning

    During the planning phase, the iboss onboarding engineer will review your subscription package, define success criteria, and outline key milestones for onboarding. This phase ensures alignment between your team and iboss, and sets the foundation for agent deployment, tunnel setup, policy configuration, and training.

    Configuration

    The configuration phase includes guidance for setting up authentication (IdP), redirecting user traffic, and establishing baseline Zero Trust policies. Your onboarding engineer will walk you through the platform's core configuration options based on the selected package.

    Test Guidance

    During this phase, the onboarding engineer will help your team validate core functionality such as user access, policy enforcement, and application reachability—ensuring your environment is ready for a successful launch.

    Pilot

    The pilot phase focuses on deploying agents to a small user group and validating access and policy behavior in a live environment. Your iboss engineer will support you with configuration tuning, user acceptance testing, and readiness checks for broader adoption.

    Handoff & Transition

    In the final phase of onboarding, your iboss engineer will help transition ongoing responsibilities to your team. You'll receive knowledge base access, reporting setup support, and guidance for next steps—along with a handoff to iboss's world class Technical Support.
