What is a cyber score?

onboarding-base-contained

Benchmark, improve, prepare

Our cyber score helps schools build safer digital environments, providing a clear, actionable framework for measuring, improving, and sustaining cybersecurity resilience.

 

By using your cyber score to guide your actions, you will reduce cybersecurity risks and foster best practices based on your most relevant guidance and standards. 

Benchmark 

Answer straightforward statements under three categories: Planning & Preparation, Internal Systems and External Dependencies. 

 

Rather than just a 'number', you’ll get a clear roadmap: what to tackle now, what to plan for, what you need to involve vendors/staff in.

 

When you report up, you’ll talk in terms of budgets, vendors, users, downtime, risk,  not just servers and tickets. This gives you better buy‑in and shows you’re a proactive partner, not just reactive fire‑fighter.

Improve

Cyber score provides actionable insights and clear pathways to improvement in a self-paced and easy-to-use way. It includes best practice recommendations based on different areas your school should focus on and structured ‘tracks’ to guide your progress.  

 

You should see cyber score as a 'progress path' to improvement. We have developed the progression path with educationalists, using best practices adopted by hundreds of schools. Following the suggested actions and pathways will keep you on the 'happy path' of continuous improvement. 

Prepare 

 

Cyber score is self-paced and completely free to access, whether you are a Secure Schools customer or not, and that will never change.

 

You can use our Secure Schools Readiness track as a global framework to track your school's cybersecurity best practice.

Cyber score FAQs

Never. The statements and scoring system of cyber score will be free forever. There may be suggested actions for your school, such as conducting phishing simulations, awareness training or other actions which are 'paid' services. The fundamentals of tracking your cyber score will always be free. 

For now, no. We have longer-term plans for reporting output of cyber score, but this is still some months away. Continue to conduct your self-assessed audits with peace of mind! 

No. Cyber score is platform agnostic and will never ask specifically if you are using Secure Schools for your cyber resilience. We will add functionality to cyber score, which automatically 'answers' statements for you, based on the actions you take with our products and services, but you do not need to use our products to get a 'good' score.

Cyber score is a benchmarking framework which uses years of expertise in education and feedback from hundreds of schools to create a 'happy path' to cyber resilience. The current cyber score framework and statements are based multiple different standards from across governing bodies.

It may one day be its own standard, but by improving your cyber score, you will see your school's path to other recognised standards increase with each action you take.
