Case Study: The Importance of Robust Cybersecurity and Data Privacy in Australian Schools
For schools, it’s crucial to have staff who are well-informed about cybersecurity and privacy risks. With the increasing number of cyber security incidents affecting the education sector in Australia, it’s a timely reminder for schools to enhance their compliance frameworks. This not only ensures a safer educational environment but benefits all stakeholders.
The cyber-attack on Newcastle Grammar School in 2020 highlights the critical need for strong cybersecurity compliance in schools. The attack involved a ransomware incident that paralysed the school’s infrastructure, affecting vital IT systems. This breach also led to the exposure of sensitive information belonging to the school’s stakeholders, including staff and parents’ names, bank account details, and addresses.
The hackers demanded a ransom of 1 million AUD in cryptocurrency to restore the school’s systems. This cyberattack and data breach could have been prevented with comprehensive compliance training for all staff, reducing possible vulnerabilities that hackers could exploit to infiltrate the school’s systems.
Having a robust compliance network could have not only prevented financial losses amounting to millions of dollars but also protected the school from serious reputational damage and safeguarded sensitive data for all stakeholders involved.
An Opportune Reminder
This incident serves as a reminder to schools of all sizes that they must take practical steps to safeguard their networks and data. This responsibility also extends to all compliance matters, placing the interests of the school community at the forefront of operations safeguarding education.
All Australian educational institutions should regularly audit their compliance framework.
Our consulting team can assist with auditing your compliance framework.

The training content is easy to follow, with the use of case studies and relevant scenarios to demonstrate to learners how the content is applied in real life.
