 Cyber security is essential to protecting schools and academies from an ever-increasing range of digital threats. From safeguarding sensitive pupil and staff data to ensuring uninterrupted access to learning systems, a strong cyber security strategy helps schools operate safely, compliantly, and with confidence.

Our cyber security approach is designed specifically for the education sector, protecting on-premise and cloud environments while supporting your obligations under data protection and safeguarding regulations. By combining proactive monitoring, secure systems, and staff awareness, we help reduce risk and strengthen your school’s digital resilience.
