Business Description

Founded in 2018 by professionals in cyber security and also education.
Secure Schools is a team of cyber security professionals as well as educationalists, with a passion for empowering schools with technology and also maintaining children as well as young adults safe in education. Jill and 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 and also 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 that aim to bring new 'better, faster and cheaper' security products to market. Throughout 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 committed for schools as well as trusts.
We've built an online portal as well as web application that provides schools with all the tools and also training they need to operate a successful cyber security programme as well as 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 as well as staff training management for HR and also operations personnel.
