The IT challenges it support for schools & education face
Safeguarding and child protection
Schools have a legal duty to safeguard students. IT systems must support safeguarding — filtering inappropriate content, monitoring for concerning behaviour, and maintaining records for child protection. We help schools implement safeguarding-compliant IT systems.
School information management systems
Schools rely on management information systems like SIMS, Bromcom, and Arbor for student records, attendance, and reporting. These systems need reliable infrastructure and secure access. We ensure your MIS runs on optimised, supported infrastructure.
Budget constraints
Schools operate under tight budget constraints. We help schools maximise their IT investment — leveraging free and discounted Microsoft 365 Education licensing, optimising infrastructure costs, and providing cost-effective managed support.
Diverse user needs
Schools support diverse users — students, teachers, administrators, and parents — each with different needs and access levels. We design IT systems that serve all users securely and effectively.
Remote and hybrid learning
The shift to remote and hybrid learning requires reliable, secure platforms for online teaching, collaboration, and assessment. We help schools implement and support Microsoft Teams for Education and other learning platforms.

Sub-sectors we support:
The specific cyber threats targeting your sector
Ransomware targeting school systems
Schools are increasingly targeted by ransomware. Attackers know that schools cannot afford extended downtime, especially during exam periods. Ransomware can encrypt student records, teaching materials, and administrative systems — causing significant disruption to education.
Student data theft
Student records contain sensitive personal data — names, addresses, dates of birth, medical information, and sometimes safeguarding information. This data is valuable to cybercriminals and must be protected to the highest standards.
Phishing targeting school staff
School staff receive phishing emails designed to steal login credentials for school systems and email accounts. Compromised accounts can be used to access student data or send fraudulent communications to parents and staff.
Inappropriate content access
Without proper filtering and monitoring, students may access inappropriate content on school devices and networks. Schools have a legal duty to filter and monitor internet access under KCSIE guidance.
