Why Cyber Security Matters for Schools?
On 10 April 2025, the government published its annual Cyber Security Breaches Survey, in which 91% of higher education institutions surveyed had experienced a cyber attack during the previous 12 months. With a surge in cyber attacks, schools face increasing risks of disruption to learning and exposure of sensitive student and staff data.
PSP’s comprehensive cyber security services provide proactive protection, staff education and effective response planning to minimise vulnerabilities and ensure compliance with Department for Education (DfE) standards.
