Penetration Testing for Independent Schools

Independent, CREST-accredited penetration testing for independent and private schools, where reputation and sensitive data are on the line.

What is at stake for an independent school

Independent schools hold exactly what attackers want: fee and payment data, family and pupil records, admissions information, and often boarding and estate systems too. There is no local authority safety net, and reputation with fee-paying parents is hard-won and easily damaged. A single breach can be both a data-protection issue and a serious knock to confidence.

Testing the systems that matter

We scope around your real risk: the finance and fee systems, the MIS and parent portals, admissions and enquiry forms, remote access, and the internal network. We test them the way an attacker would, then explain what we found in plain terms for your bursar, IT lead and senior leadership.

Assurance for governors and parents

Governors are increasingly asking whether cyber risk is genuinely under control, and parents assume their data is safe. An independent test lets you answer both honestly, with evidence rather than assurances.
