Secure Schools

Founded in 2018 by experts in cyber security and also education.
Secure Schools is a team of cyber security professionals and educationalists, with a passion for empowering schools with technology and keeping children as well as 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 allow schools as well as trusts to take a risk-based approach to cyber security, with risks identified by the UK Government combined with their very 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 who aim to bring new ‘better, faster as well as cheaper’ security products to market. Throughout this programme we ramped up our technical capabilities and also launched our school cyber security application.

We built the UK’s initial cyber security management app committed 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 need to operate a successful cyber security programme and also build cyber resilience. Our app has 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 operations personnel.
