Case Study: Passmores Cooperative Learning Community strengthens cyber resilience with Secure Schools

Passmores Cooperative Learning Community Cyber Security Programme

The Passmores Cooperative Learning Community, a multi-academy trust, sought external validation of its cybersecurity posture to satisfy its governing body. Although confident in their in-house IT team, they required independent assurance to identify vulnerabilities and demonstrate the protection of their information assets. They engaged Secure Schools for an affordable, time-limited cybersecurity audit to meet this need.

Secure Schools conducted the audit using a unique, non-judgmental framework, providing the trust with a clear action plan and valuable insights. The process improved the cyber security culture across all schools and shifted responsibility from just the IT department to a trust-wide effort. As a result, the trust established an annual reporting baseline and was so impressed that it embarked on a long-term program with Secure Schools to further embed policies and training.
