Founded in 2018 by professionals in cyber security as well as education.

Secure Schools is a team of cyber security experts as well as educationalists, with a passion for empowering schools with technology and also maintaining children and also young adults safe in education. Jill and Paul founded Secure Schools to tackle the growing challenge of cyber security in UK schools and trusts. Their approach is to allow schools and also 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 fourth 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 as well as cheaper' security products to market. Throughout this programme we ramped up our technical capabilities and launched our school cyber security application.

We built the UK's first cyber security management application 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 require to operate a successful cyber security programme and build cyber resilience. Our application 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.
