Why are ISO Standards Important in the Education Sector
ISO standards are an important part of higher education organisations. They help to ensure that the organisation is operating at the highest level of quality, safety, and environmental consciousness.
ISO Standards enhance the credibility of academic institutions and are globally recognised in 163 countries, they can benefit from:
Education is a large sector, and it is therefore important that this sector has standardisation so that its members can be confident. ISO standards will also help to ensure that all educational institutions are held accountable for their actions by ensuring that any missteps or mistakes made by one institution do not affect other institutions.
What Challenges does the Education Industry Face, and What are the Solutions?
The education sector is one of the most important areas in society, and it's also one of the most vulnerable. To protect students, teachers, and schools from outside threats, it's essential that you have a strong security system in place.
A cyber security breach survey conducted by the UK Government covered educational institutions from primary schools to higher education organisations finding 573 businesses identified a breach or attack in the last 12 months (GOV.UK 2022).
The survey found further education colleges and higher education institutions were more likely to experience a wider range of breaches or attacks such as impersonation, phishing, virus, and spyware attacks. 88% of higher education institutions have been negatively affected.
To manage or mitigate risks, cyber security training or awareness-raising activities are useful. AvISO can assist you with training and implementing ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials to give you peace of mind that protects against the most common cyber-attacks.
ISO 27001 is an internationally recognised standard for information security management systems (ISMS). It helps organisations put together a comprehensive plan for protecting sensitive information and assets from unauthorised access.
Achieving ISO 27001 certification can help improve the safety and security of schools by providing them with a holistic approach to risk management and compliance. By setting up a robust risk assessment process, ISO 27001 encourages organisations to consider all possible threats to their business, including those that could arise from internal sources such as human error or external sources such as natural disasters or cyber-attacks. This helps organisations understand what they need to do to protect themselves against these risks so they can continue operating successfully without interruption.
