Secure Schools’ internal audit service is for schools and trusts seeking independent assurance about the security of their information systems, policies and processes. Our unique framework and approach has been developed by industry experts who understand the challenges faced by the education sector.

We've developed a standard that represents an appropriate level of cyber security for UK schools and trusts, incorporating the most up-to-date cyber security requirements and expectations from the DfE and ESFA, along with guidance from the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and standards such as Cyber Essentials and IASME Cyber Assurance.

Our approach

We have refined our approach over years working with schools and trusts of all sizes. Solely working with the education sector enables us to remain at the forefront of the latest developments and regulations, as well as continuously engaging with school and trust leaders to understand and respond to the unique challenges they are facing.

Self-assessment

Assessor-led audit

Will an assessor-led audit help to prepare our school for Cyber Essentials?

Yes - in fact, we are one of the only Cyber Essentials Certification Bodies that work exclusively with schools and academy trusts. Should your school or trust wish to certify to Cyber Essentials or IASME Governance, the report we deliver will enable you to work through the action plan which is provided with an assessor-led audit.
