How we can help
Understanding of Higher Education
Our dedicated higher education team has years of collective experience in helping universities, institutions, and exam boards achieve a consolidated view of risks across the entire IT, IAM and Security landscape.
Creating a more cyber-aware culture
Cyber security is not just an issue for businesses. With tens of thousands of new university goers every year, we can help design, develop and implement an information security awareness program, to make everyone aware of what’s needed to keep your institution safe.
Getting started with assessments
Knowing where to start can prove to be easier said than done. Our series of assessments will analyse and review your existing systems, processes, and technologies, providing you with a roadmap-style strategy prioritising the key focus areas specific to your university.
Managed support services
Leave as little or as much with us! We offer a specialist advice, support, or a fully managed service to meet your needs, ensuring your IT systems continue to operate without interference, minimising potentially costly downtime and optimising overall performance.

Providing Managed Service Support
The University of Bedfordshire required additional personnel and expertise to integrate with their team to help manage their existing estate.
Turnkey provided the University with a Managed Service to support server patching and upgrade cycles to the IAM platform. We performed an IAM Strategy Review with IDM, CISO & InfoSec teams to align cybersecurity and IAM strategies for the next 3 years, providing recommendations to address the gaps in processes and tooling.
Providing an IdAM Solution and Managed Service
As a result of a large transformation project, the University needed to automate and integrate the user lifecycle of its Staff, Students and Associates, across different campuses each with separate HR, Associate & Students systems that needed integrating at the same time as migrating to a new global student system.
Turnkey were able to provide project support for all of the IAM requirements including staff, students, non-staff/associate accounts. We initiated server upgrades, process implementation, scripting, workflows, and integrations between AD, ServiceNow and IAM platform.
We then transitioned them onto our Bedrock Managed Service for IAM solution with gold partners, MicroFocus.
Privileged Access Management and Management of Non-Staff/Associates
UAL established full control over their Active Directory environment, isolating the use of privileged accounts to reduce the risk of credentials being stolen. In addition to this, we supported the implementation of identity management for associates/non-staff, which is often over-looked.
