Access to Secure Schools platform
Set up and activate your Secure Schools platform access for your school or trust.
Phishing simulations
Simulations closely mimic real education-sector phishing emails and can be tailored by trust, school and even department.
Policy builder
Access a library of cybersecurity document templates to support your school or multi-academy trust in meeting DfE, RPA, and Cyber Essentials requirements and expectations. Researched, crafted and kept up-to-date by the Secure Schools Compliance and Certification team. You can also upload and distribute your own policies through the platform.
Awareness training
A suite of awareness training for your teachers and staff. Make security second nature, empowering them to recognise threats and respond in accordance with your cybersecurity plan
School board awareness training
Make you or your school governor knowledgeable, compliant, and ready to implement the DfE's updated standards in less than 20 minutes. Keep your learning environment safe while building a culture of awareness and resilience against digital threats.
Self-evaluation audit
Our Self-Evaluation Audit is a comprehensive questionnaire designed to help you understand your IT systems, processes, and potential cybersecurity risks. On completion, you receive a gap analysis report based on standards set by UK bodies such as the Department for Education. The self-evaluation audit will give you a series of suggestions and actions which will help you improve cyber resilience within your school or trust. Secure Schools Certified offers a range of solutions to help you match and exceed these government standards, such as phishing simulations, awareness training and policy builders.
External vulnerability scan
Test the school's offensive security by scanning and analysing vulnerabilities existing in the IT systems. Our team uses the tools that attackers use during the early stages of some attacks.
Assessor-led audit
The assessor-led audit process involves gathering comprehensive information from various sources to thoroughly understand your IT systems, processes, culture, and overall cybersecurity risk. We assess all collected data to create an in-depth report that is suitable for presentation to any stakeholder within your school or trust.
Bespoke services discount
Exclusively with our Verified tier, you will receive discounted rates on all of our cybersecurity services, such as penetration testing, tabletop exercises and one-to-one consultations.
