It is crucial to understand the need for vigilance against the ongoing (and increasingly likely) risk of a cyber incident. 

The whole school community has a part to play in ensuring your school or Trust are as resilient as possible, from setting up multi-factor authentication to knowing how to respond to a phishing email.

How iCT4 can support schools and Trusts to stay secure:

Audit – how protected are your systems 

Are all devices are protected with encryption and ransomware/endpoint protection? Are you securing your systems with 2FA/MFA?  Our experts can provide a cyber audit that ensures you understand how best to protect your systems, data and most importantly your staff/children.   

Training 

We can provide regular cyber security training and test for effectiveness by performing phishing tests or vulnerability tests – allowing schools to have confidence in their skills and any countermeasures in place to protect against online harm. 

Certify 

We can work to help schools and trust gain a ‘Cyber Essentials’ certification, a government-backed scheme that helps schools and businesses consider and improve their security position: https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/cyberessentials/overview 

Consultancy and Planning 

We help schools and Trust to plan for the worst. We can help design and a risk management plan as well as work with schools to understand and setting out roles and responsibilities should the worst happen.
