Smartdesc

Smartdesc is a specialist MSP dedicated entirely to the Third Sector (Charities and Non-Profits), excelling in maximizing limited budgets through strategic 'Virtual IT Director' services. Recently acquired by the Academia Group, their market dominance is fortified. They understand the unique landscape of donor systems and volunteer management, offering 'Co-managed IT' models that empower internal charity teams.

Their leadership is evidenced by the fact that they not only hold ISO 27001 themselves but actively consult large charities (like Mind) on achieving it. This 'teacher' role confirms their academic mastery of security standards. Smartdesc ensures that charities can operate with the same level of cyber security and strategic foresight as corporate entities, protecting vulnerable data effectively.
