Cyber Security and Privacy Reminder for School Teams

Cyber security and privacy responsibilities continue to be an important part of school operations and risk management.

Reviewing cyber and privacy responsibilities

Cyber security and privacy remain important operational and compliance responsibilities for schools. Regular review helps ensure staff understand expectations and that processes are in place to protect information appropriately.

• review privacy and data handling processes
• confirm cyber security responsibilities across teams
• check that incident reporting pathways are understood

Connecting risk with daily practice

Cyber and privacy risks are not only technical issues. They also relate to staff behaviour, communication processes, document handling and leadership oversight. Schools may wish to review how these responsibilities are embedded in everyday practice.

• check how sensitive information is shared
• review access controls for key systems
• include cyber and privacy risks in operational discussions
