Founded in 2018 by professionals in cyber security and education.
Secure Schools is a team of cyber security professionals and educationalists, with a passion for empowering schools with technology and also keeping children and young adults safe in education. Jill as well as Paul founded Secure Schools to tackle the growing challenge of cyber security in UK schools as well as trusts. Their approach is to enable schools as well as trusts to take a risk-based approach to cyber security, with risks identified by the UK Government combined with their own assessments, without introducing barriers to learning.
Accelerated by the NCSC Cyber Accelerator Programme.
We were selected for the 4th cohort of the UK's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) Cyber Accelerator Programme. The Accelerator supports the growth of start-up cyber companies that aim to bring new 'better, faster and also cheaper' security products to market. During this programme we ramped up our technical capabilities and also launched our school cyber security app.
We built the UK's initial cyber security management app devoted for schools and trusts.
We've built an online portal as well as web application that provides schools with all the tools and training they require to operate a successful cyber security programme as well as build cyber resilience. Our app has actually been built specifically for schools with role-based access to support school leaders with risk assessments, ICT teams (or IT service providers) with secure device configuration and also staff training management for HR and also operations personnel.
