Moving Digital Technology Infrastructure to your New School
Evaluating and Moving Digital Technology Infrastructure (DTI) Equipment
Schools should evaluate if any DTI equipment from the existing building is fit for purpose and could be moved, including projectors, PCs, laptops, laptop trolleys, devices, and printers. If some existing equipment is ‘fit for purpose’ and ‘future-proofed,’ it may be beneficial to move it to the new building.
However, this transition period is also an excellent opportunity to decommission DTI equipment that is no longer fit for purpose, such as old school servers, desktops, laptops, projectors and outdated networking equipment.

Cybersecurity for Schools
Enhancing Data Protection and Cybersecurity for New Schools
Relocating to a new school is an excellent opportunity to plan and review your data management and cybersecurity strategies. Data protection and cybersecurity are critical for all schools, focusing on managing and safeguarding school data to reduce the risks of data being deleted, compromised, lost or stolen. Schools need a comprehensive data and cybersecurity strategy that outlines the main objectives and includes a policy and implementation plan to support this strategy.
Cybersecurity involves using technologies, processes, and controls to protect systems, networks, devices and data from cyber-attacks. This approach aims to minimize the risk of cyber-attacks and prevent data loss.
