Penetration testing for education technology products and the companies that build them.
What is edtech penetration testing?
EdTech penetration testing is security testing for the platforms, apps and APIs sold to schools, colleges and universities, covering the product, its cloud and how it handles pupil and staff data.
Why it matters
Education buyers and frameworks increasingly expect suppliers to prove their products are secure, and a breach in an edtech platform can expose thousands of pupils' data across many schools at once.
How Solusec tests it
We test your edtech application, its APIs and cloud infrastructure, and give you a clear report you can share with school buyers and procurement to win and keep contracts.
Education testing, done right
Solusec is a CREST-accredited penetration testing provider and a member of the BESA LaunchPad programme for education suppliers. We test in line with the DfE cyber security standards, understand KCSIE filtering and monitoring duties, MIS platforms and safeguarding systems, and keep pupil and staff data safe throughout. You deal directly with the tester, not a call centre.
What you get
You get a clear, prioritised report mapped to risk and to the DfE cyber security standards, a plain-English summary for leadership and governors, practical fixes for your IT team or MSP, and a free retest once you have remediated.
