Competent Advice | Practical Approach
Is Cyber Security issues putting strain on management time?
Because of the pandemic, schools have accelerated their use of technology. Last year, a UK study found that 76% of secondary schools had identified cyber breaches or attacks on their school. It is important that your school now take all reasonable steps to keep systems and data secure.
Our experienced team will work closely with your school to address relevant cyber risks. Our expertise and proven methodology will ensure your school adopts appropriate technical and organisational measures to safeguard data and avoid incidents of cyber attacks.
Stage 1: Cyber Security Audit
The audit is a thorough, independent, and documented assessment of a school’s cyber security posture. From this, an action plan is developed to mitigate risks identified.
Stage 2: Policy & Resource Pack
A range of policies will then be prepared for the school including Acceptable Use, Internet Access, Email and Communications, and Network Security. We’ll also prepare appropriate resources and train school leaders and post-holders on the pack.
Stage 3: Staff Training
Staff training then takes place via our Learning Platform – The Ark Academy™ designed specifically to bring staff through their individual Cyber Security responsibilities in everyday teaching and learning.
Stage 4: Retained Support
When you need advice or support how long do other service providers wait before coming back to you? We provide same-day advice and assistance to you for up to 12 months as standard (Monday to Friday 9am – 5pm).
