Cyber Risk Register for Schools & Multi-Academy Trusts
A ready-to-use risk register covering 28 of the most common cyber and information security risks facing schools and trusts. From governance gaps and phishing to ransomware, third-party IT providers, and cyber insurance compliance. Each risk includes its potential impact, the key controls needed to manage it, a suggested risk level, review frequency, and references to the relevant DfE Digital & Technology Standards, NCSC guidance, Cyber Essentials, and UK GDPR requirements.
Use it as a starting point for your own governing board or trust board risk register, adapting risk levels and ownership to reflect your organisation's specific circumstances.
