EdTech Partnerships

Why is the supply chain important for EdTech and Schools?

With so much sensitive data at stake—like student records, staff information, and institutional plans — schools rely on third-party vendors for tools and services such as learning management systems, online assessments, and cloud storage.

A single weak link in this chain can expose schools to cybersecurity threats, data breaches, and disruptions. By securing the supply chain, schools can protect their systems, ensure student safety, and maintain trust in the technology they use daily.

Secure Schools is not a generalist cybersecurity provider; we are dedicated and experienced in working with schools and trusts. With a deep understanding of the educational sector, our team of seasoned educationalists and cybersecurity experts work hand in hand with your staff to bolster digital defences through a range of products and services.

We know that the supply chain is high-risk for schools, and each individual school puts a high level of scrutiny on their suppliers.

The NCSC has found that supply chain attacks are becoming more sophisticated and exploit the trust school's place in third-party vendors. These attacks can target software, hardware, or processes, often compromising widely used systems to infiltrate your critical infrastructure.
