I couldn’t take the position that the school should be patching, because if its senior management has set out that it does not, then that is the fact of the matter.

 

Really good points, and it is worth saying that a senior leadership decision not to patch increases other risks. Cyber-crime and cyber security are noted in Keeping Children Safe in Education.

 

This approach could be challenged (and should be) and it could even result in some of the DPIAs of the school running high risks. And if that is the case, they should be talking with ICO about those DPIAs.

 

That is before we get to Cyber Essentials.

 

There is a balance to be had between declaring where public money is being spent and protection of the school, the children, the staff, its data and its assets. I get that, but I also worry about uninformed decisions by senior leaders in schools.
