From computers and internal systems, to fully connected IT suites for students, Infuse are well equipped to protect and educate school communities in their use of technology, and establish mechanisms to identify, intervene in and escalate any digital security threats.

How we helped The Creative Education Trust

Established in 2010, The Creative Education Trust (CET) is a growing, multi-academy trust consisting of 17 primary and secondary schools across the West Midlands and East Coast of the UK. The Trust underwent a period of rapid growth, necessitating the need for better, more standardised cyber-security measures that could be implemented across the board. Our team were tasked with auditing and reviewing the Trusts existing cyber-security measures, assessing their IT landscape with a vision to successfully manage, reduce and mitigate the risk of cyber threats .

We have been working alongside CET for over 3 years now and have developed solid security practises that are implemented trust wide to ensure they are using the latest technology and practises to safeguard their data, staff and pupils. Today, CET can successfully demonstrate governance of cyber security and now hold Cyber Essentials certifications across all their schools.
