DfE Digital and Technology Standards: Where Does Your School Stand?
Twelve standards. Six core ones by 2030. And the governors want to know where you stand.
In this video
- For almost every school, cyber security is already a high priority. The hard part is the evidence.
- Filtering is switched on. But if someone asked who reviewed last week's monitoring report, could you show them?
- And 2030 sounds a long way off, but the network contracts you sign now will still be running then.
- Systech helps schools, trusts and colleges get there, in the right order.
- In sixty minutes we look at all twelve standards, the six core ones first, and give you a one-page position for each, with the evidence.
- Then a plan in the right order, with the disruptive work in the holidays and the spend planned for your budget cycle.
- And straight answers on filtering, monitoring, and whether you'd pass Cyber Essentials today.
