Your data is safe with our Cyber Essentials Plus certification
Keeping children safe is your priority, and keeping your data safe is ours. By achieving the Cyber Essentials Plus standard, we’ve proven that your setting’s data is protected by the highest level of security.
Cyber Essentials Plus is the highest level of certification offered by the UK government-backed scheme, involving a rigorous technical audit to ensure our systems are resilient against cyber threats.
Verified protection, not just promises
Cyber Essentials Plus ensures that our security isn’t just a “box-ticking” exercise. An independent expert has verified our infrastructure to ensure we meet strict technical standards.
Independent technical audit:
Unlike the standard certification, the "Plus" version requires a hands-on audit by an external assessor. They’ve tested our systems to ensure they’re resilient against common cyber attacks.
Securing every device:
We’ve proven that every laptop, tablet, and smartphone used by the eyworks team is encrypted and protected. This significantly reduces the risk of data being compromised.
Proactive vulnerability scans:
Our systems undergo regular scans to identify and fix potential weaknesses before they can be exploited, keeping your nursery’s data one step ahead of hackers.
Your favourite nursery management tools, now more secure than ever
Digital safeguarding that supports your practice
Ofsted and the DfE are increasingly focused on how early years providers manage data. Using a partner with Cyber Essentials Plus certification makes it easier for you to demonstrate your commitment to digital safeguarding during inspections.
- Meeting regulatory standards: When an inspector asks about your data security, you can confidently point to eyworks. Our certification aligns with the security standards recommended for the education sector.
- Protecting the EYFS journey: Every observation, photo, and development milestone captured in eylog is stored within our secure environment. We ensure these precious memories stay private and protected.
- Access control and privacy: We maintain strict "need-to-know" access for our staff. This means only the right people have access to the right data, maintaining the privacy of every child and practitioner.
Building trust with your families
Parents and carers trust you with their children’s most personal information. Our security standards give you the evidence you need to reassure families that their data is handled with the care it deserves.
- Secure parent communication: Every update sent through the eyparent app is protected by the same high-level security we use across our entire platform.
- Peace of mind for carers: You can share photos and daily diaries knowing that our infrastructure is designed to prevent unauthorised access.
- Professional standards: Demonstrating high levels of data security shows families that your nursery is a professional, forward-thinking environment that values their privacy.
A secure foundation that grows with your setting
Whether you use eylog for observations or eymanage for your finances, our Cyber Essentials Plus certification covers the entire eyworks ecosystem. We’ve built a secure environment so you can manage your setting without ever worrying about the safety of your data.
