Free 1-Hour Cyber Exercise – We Come to You

We help schools strengthen everyday cyber resilience in a simple, practical way.​ Start with a free one-hour tabletop exercise at your school. We run a realistic scenario with your team, help you spot what’s missing, and leave you with a short list of clear next steps.

Who It’s For

Headteachers, senior leaders, business managers, governors, and IT providers who want to check how ready their school is for a cyber incident without technical jargon or long reports.
