Ensuring robust cyber protection for your school has never been more crucial. Recent high-profile incidents involving [Marks & Spencer](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0el31nqnpvo) and the [Legal Aid Agency](https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/other/legal-aid-cyber-attack-huge-amount-of-personal-data-stolen/ar-AA1F2mCA) highlight that no organisation – not even a well-established retailer or government agency – is immune to cyber incidents. From data theft to system disruption, cybercrime is becoming more frequent, more sophisticated, and more costly. A successful cyber-attack could have a serious impact on your school: **Business interruption and system downtime** Key resources, including student data, lesson plans, and education materials could be made inaccessible by a ransomware attack. **Crime** A phishing campaign could result in compromised employee email accounts which hackers use to make fraudulent payments. **Privacy risk** Should hackers manage to access personal information, including students’ health information, then parents will have to be notified of the breach. **Free cyber scan available** Protect your school from cyber threats with a free, non-intrusive scan and tailored recommendations.
