Safeguarding is a critical priority for Multi-Academy Trusts, where maintaining consistent protection across multiple schools is essential. Switchshop supports MATs in creating secure, resilient network environments that help protect students, staff, and sensitive data across all sites. By combining robust cybersecurity solutions with intelligent network design, we enable safe access to online resources, minimise exposure to cyber threats, and support compliance with safeguarding and data protection requirements.
Our approach provides central visibility and control, allowing Trusts to maintain a consistent, secure digital environment where teaching and learning can take place with confidence across every school.
RepLog – Supporting schools with secure, cloud-based reporting and safeguarding insights. RepLog removes the complexity and cost of managing on-premises reporting tools, providing detailed internet usage reports and real-time safeguarding alerts to designated staff. As a member of the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), Switchshop provides dynamic keyword monitoring that includes customer-defined terms, enabling schools to protect their users and maintain compliance.
MySSP – Safeguarding schools with intelligent, scalable network security. Built on an enterprise-grade, cloud-based security platform, MySSP provides the protection and visibility schools need to operate with confidence. Combining user-based filtering with safeguarding intelligence from the IWF, MySSP protects pupils and staff across all sites and devices. With advanced firewalling, ransomware protection, SSL Decryption, and automated reporting, it delivers consistent, compliant security across school networks.
MySSP Onboard – Simplifying secure BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) access for schools. MySSP Onboard delivers certificates seamlessly to staff and students’ devices, enabling quick connection to a secure, monitored network without technical barriers. Supporting all major operating systems and devices, including Android 14+, featuring a branded landing page. Backed by automatic device detection and Switchshops’ 24/7 Service Desk, schools can maintain robust network security and focus on digital learning.
Proactive Monitoring – Extending school IT teams to keep networks running smoothly. Proactive Monitoring provides continuous oversight of supported devices, using machine learning and Switchshop Help Desk integration to deliver alerts, fixes, and predictive insights. Automated ticketing, detailed reporting, and off-site device backups help IT teams maintain network performance, plan for potential failures, and minimise disruption to teaching and learning.
