About Cyber Secure

Cyber Secure is a free to use self-assessment tool for schools, where data is confidential to the school. The tool helps school leaders to be proactive and better informed on the state of their schools’ cyber resilience. It provides valuable signposting and access to a relevant range of advice and guidance.

The tool aims to provide you with direct support to be able to better protect against and respond to Cyber threats.

Over the last few years there has been an increase in the volume and successfulness of cyber-attacks. Ransomware attacks are a particular risk impacting on education organisations. These have the potential to cause significant, long-lasting and costly damage to systems, data and the safety of staff and students. Strong systems can repel attacks, but a growing method of attack uses your trusted suppliers (your supply chain) as a way to gain entry into your systems. Cyber Secure will help you to assess the risk in your systems, enabling you to prioritise your effort and expenditure to target the areas most at need.
