Data Protection Posters

Data protection involves safeguarding data and restoring critical information when it is corrupted, compromised, or lost due to cyberattacks, system failures, deliberate damage, or human error. It encompasses the technologies, practices, processes, and workflows that ensure authorized access to data, ensuring its availability when needed.

A data breach occurs when unauthorized individuals gain access to your school's information, networks, or devices through means such as cyberattacks, insider threats, or human error. Beyond the immediate loss of sensitive data, your school could face compliance violation fines, legal consequences for exposing personal information, and long-term harm to your reputation.

A data loss incident refers to intentional or accidental disruptions to normal organisational operations. Examples include a lost or stolen laptop, corrupted software, or a computer virus infiltrating your network. To mitigate these risks, implementing a robust security policy and training employees to recognize and appropriately respond to potential threats are essential components of a successful data protection strategy.
