Case Study: a multi-academy trust of approximately 30 primary schools strengthens cyber security with RM Education's Cyber Essentials consultancy

A multi-academy trust of approximately 30 primary schools boosts cyber security in 8 weeks with RM Education

A multi-academy trust of approximately 30 primary schools engaged RM Education to address cyber security as part of its digital transformation. The trust needed to identify major risks and prepare for future audits, aiming to meet the Cyber Essentials benchmark but lacking the internal resources to achieve compliance on its own.

RM Education implemented its Cyber Essentials Consultancy service, an eight-week iterative process that provided a gap analysis, a prioritised action plan, and a toolkit including policy templates. As a result, the trust gained a much better understanding of its cyber risks, eliminated specific vulnerabilities, and received a clear roadmap to incrementally improve its security posture and close its corporate cyber risk gap significantly.
