Evalian

Evalian specialises in Cyber Security, Penetration Testing, Data Protection and ISO consultancy for organisations across all industries, including the education sector. Our team is made up of highly experienced subject matter experts, based throughout the UK.

We provide cyber security services such as penetration testing, cyber incident response and supply chain security for schools, universities and education centres in the UK. We know the systems you use and that cost-effective solutions are a priority for schools, and that is why we work to tailor a package to suit your budget and requirements with no hidden costs.

Whether you are a school, an FE college, an HE organisation or an organisation that works within the education sector, you understand the criticality of lawfully processing and protecting young peoples’ data. Given the sensitive data and reliance on systems at the heart of your institution, you need a mature approach to cyber resilience and compliance with data protection laws.

Do any of these challenges sound familiar?

• Securing personal data
• Increasing digital remote learning resulting in larger attack surface
• Knowing where your compliance gaps lie
• Protecting sensitive research data
• Dealing with Subject Access Requests (DSARs)
• Ensuring staff and students are cyber security aware
• System resilience to cyber threats
• Successfully risk assessing your suppliers

Cyber security can be challenging. It’s becoming ever more complicated as organisations embrace mobile first, cloud and online led business models. These bring great benefits to education, but also result in new threats, additional vulnerabilities to manage and a larger attack surface.

Our team has supported schools and universities like yours, to meet their compliance requirements, assess their security posture, test their infrastructure, provide remediation advice and much more. Our aim? To take the heavy lifting away from you, so you can concentrate on the other critical areas of education.
