Security and compliance

We are committed to providing you with a fully hosted service that not only jumpstarts your decision-making but also guarantees the safety and compliance of your valuable data.

Data security is fundamental

Endorsement from over a thousand schools across the world reinforces the significance we attach to security and compliance. SOCS security measures mean your data remains protected within our digital walls.

Behind the scenes, our dedicated team works to maintain the integrity of your SOCS data. Our staff are vetted and have a solid understanding of data protection and security.

Your journey with us is about more than just software – it's about partnership and trust.

SOCS data is securely stored within Microsoft Azure datacentres located around the UK. Microsoft Azure provides robust and compliant data storage solutions that ensure the privacy and security of your school's information.

We prioritise the security of the SOCS systems by conducting regular vulnerability assessments through both authenticated and unauthenticated testing.

SOCS security is tested annually by a third-party cybersecurity company certified by CREST.

This independent assessment provides an extra layer of scrutiny to our own in-house security checks. The SOCS development team runs regular tests on a routine basis to identify and address potential vulnerabilities to ensure that our systems remain robust and resilient against potential threats.
