Further Education Penetration Testing

← Penetration testing for education

Penetration testing for further education colleges, scoped to FE systems, budgets and DfE obligations.

What is further education penetration testing?

Further education penetration testing assesses the IT that FE colleges rely on: enrolment and MIS, cloud platforms, websites and remote access, tested by a qualified human.

Why it matters

FE colleges handle large volumes of learner data and must meet the College Financial Handbook's cyber requirements. The sector is a repeated target for ransomware and phishing.

How Solusec tests it

We scope to your college and its obligations, test the highest-risk systems, validate findings, and report for both leadership and IT.

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.
