Strengthening Cybersecurity Compliance and Resilience

Northampton College is one of the UK’s largest further education colleges, serving over 10,000 students across Northamptonshire, England. With campuses in Northampton and Daventry, the College offers a wide range of practical and technical qualifications, A Levels, T Levels, apprenticeships, and courses for adults. Committed to maintaining a secure and inclusive learning environment, the College prioritises the safety and integrity of its IT infrastructure.

The Challenge

As part of an Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) mandate, Northampton College needed to complete a rigorous IT Health Check (ITHC) to secure compliance and ensure system integrity. Educational institutions like Northampton College face unique cybersecurity challenges, including:

  • Protecting sensitive student and staff data
  • Managing a complex IT estate across multiple locations
  • Mitigating risks from outdated software and unpatched systems
  • Securing network access across diverse campus facilities

To meet these challenges, the College sought an experienced partner to conduct the ITHC and safeguard its systems against potential cybersecurity threats.
