The Department for Education recommends Cyber Essentials for all schools, and UK schools and trusts have been hit by ransomware repeatedly and publicly in recent years. We certify around the risks that actually take a school’s systems offline.
Back to scannerShared infrastructure across a trust and thin IT resource make this sector a repeat target.
Ransomware against a school’s management information system has taken down timetabling, registers, and exam data at multiple UK schools and trusts — sometimes for weeks.

A weak point at one academy in a trust can expose every other academy sharing the same network or systems.
