Even in normal times, the education sector has a far larger and more complex landscape to navigate when it comes to security, compliance, and laws like General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). When some of us are working and learning remotely, the landscape becomes more complex still.

This new set of guidelines offers clear and practical steps for bolstering GDPR compliance in your school. They expand on the existing GDPR for Education Kickstart Guide and consist of four key steps:

• Discover – Identify what personal data you have and where it resides
• Manage – Govern how personal data is used and accessed
• Protect – Establish security controls to prevent, detect and respond to vulnerabilities and data breaches
• Report – Keep required documentation, and manage data requests and breach notifications
