Find access and sign-in weaknesses before they become a route into school systems and information.

Protect sensitive school data

Review sharing and access arrangements that may affect pupil, parent and staff information.

Give leaders a clear picture

Turn technical configuration into an understandable summary of risk, priorities and next steps.

What your school receives

More than a list ofsettings.

The value is knowing what the findings mean, which actions matter first and how to improve without disrupting teaching and administration.

A focused review of theareas that matter most.

Accounts and sign-in

Review how users authenticate and where stronger sign-in protection may be needed.

Administrator access

Identify privileged access that may be broader or riskier than your school needs.

Sharing and collaboration

Highlight settings that could expose school information more widely than intended.

Security configuration

Check important Workspace security settings against a sensible baseline.

Visibility and alerts

Review whether administrators have enough visibility to spot and investigate concerning activity.

Third-party access

Surface connected applications and access arrangements that may need review.

Questions school leaders ask

Before you book a call.

We only need read-only Admin Console access for the areas we agree with you upfront, and nothing more. We cannot change settings, delete anything, or read the contents of individual emails or files. You stay in full control and can remove our access the moment the review is finished.
