Are you meeting DfE Cyber Standards, without overspending?
Schools are being asked to do more with less, while keeping up with growing cyber security expectations.
We help you meet DfE standards, close the gaps, and stay protected, in a way that’s practical, affordable, and built for real school environments.
Because cyber security shouldn’t feel like another burden.
What meeting DfE standards looks like in practice
- Controlling who can access systems making sure only the right people have access with added protection like MFA
- Keeping secure backups so your data can be recovered quickly if something goes wrong
- Managing and updating devices keeping laptops, PCs and servers secure and up to date
- Identifying and fixing weaknesses, spotting risks early and deadling with them
- Safe internet use with filtering and monitoring to keep pupils and staff protected online
- Supporting staff awareness helping everyone understand their role in keeping the school secure
