Stop guessing. Know exactly where your school stands.
Ceidwad Atlas shows schools and trusts how ready they are, which risks matter most, and what to put right first — in language a governing body can read without a translator.
A sample score. Yours takes about two minutes, and it’s free.
This is what your school actually sees.
Real screens from the product — not a diagram. Plain English, one clear next step, and the evidence a governing body asks for.
Dashboard. Where the school stands, and the three things worth doing next — never a wall of red.
Know where you stand in about two minutes
A short set of questions about how your school is set up. Nothing to install, no connection to your systems, no sign-up, and no sales call at the end of it.
The answer is yours to keep, whether or not you ever choose Ceidwad.
Get your free readiness scoreSchools don’t need more cyber alerts. They need clarity.
Know where you stand.
A risk register says cyber security matters. It does not say how ready you are. Atlas gives you a measured position instead of a feeling — and the same position every term, so you can see whether it is moving.
Know what to fix next.
Nobody needs another list of everything that could be better. Atlas puts the few improvements that change your position most at the top, in the order to do them, sized for a school that has other work on.
Know how to explain it.
The people accountable for this are usually not technical. Leadership, governors and trustees get a document they can read and hold a position from, with the evidence behind it if anyone asks.
More than a scanner. More use than another dashboard.
Microsoft tells you about Microsoft. Sophos tells you about Sophos. Your firewall tells you about the firewall. A free scanner hands your IT team a list. A tiered vendor makes you climb paid packages to unlock the basics.
None of them tells your leadership team what it all adds up to.
Already running a free scanner, or your firewall's alerts? Keep them. Ceidwad is the layer above — it makes sense of the whole picture and gives your leadership the board-ready view and the plan for when something goes wrong. It sits alongside whoever runs your IT; it does not replace them.
Everything on this page is in every plan, at one price.
Built for UK education, not adapted for it
This is not enterprise software with a schools page bolted on. Every part of it assumes a UK school or trust: the guidance you answer to, the budgets you work within, the term you are in, and the people who actually have to use it.
Ceidwad works with schools and trusts, and nobody else.
Everything it takes to improve, in one place
Eighteen things, and one price for all of them — grouped the way the product is, so the first morning after you sign up looks like this page. Nothing here is an add-on and nothing is sold separately.
Where you stand
6The measuring half. Nothing here changes a setting; it tells you what is true today.
ReadinessSeventeen questions, then the specific gaps and the order to close them.
Mail checkWhether someone can send email that looks like it came from your school, and the records that stop them.
Web checkWhat your website tells a visitor's browser, checked every morning across every site you run.
What's visibleWhat a stranger can find out about your school without asking you first.
Available to any subscribing school.
Filtering reviewThe annual filtering and monitoring review KCSIE asks a governing body to record, and the checks under it.
RegistersYour devices and contracts in one place, watching the dates that go stale while nobody is looking.
The bad day
4The half that matters at three in the morning, prepared while nothing is happening.
Response planWho does what in the first thirty minutes, written down before you need it and printable.
IncidentsReport it in a sentence. The 72-hour clock starts and you keep the record, whatever you decide.
Phishing drillBetaPractice emails to your own staff, and the reporting habit that protects you on the real day.
In beta and not yet open to customer accounts.
Cyber TrainingBetaShort hands-on exercises staff will actually finish. The score stays on your own screen, and all we record is whether the day was survived.
In beta. Switched on per school rather than by default.
For leadership
3Written for people who do not run the network, and are answerable for it anyway.
LeadershipThe decisions waiting on you, kept separate from the work that is not yours.
Board viewWhat you tell trustees, as a pack you can print and hand across a table.
AcademiesEvery academy's position on one page, and each one's own record underneath.
For multi-academy trusts.
Threat intelligence
4What is happening outside your school, in plain words. Reference material — Atlas does not monitor your devices or network.
Threat mapWho is being hit right now, worldwide and in education, from public leak-site data.
Ransom notesReal notes from past attacks, redacted, so staff and governors see one before they meet one.
Ransomware extensionsThe file endings left behind by known ransomware, so you can name what you are looking at.
Malware hashLook up a file's fingerprint against known malware, without ever sending us the file.
Tools
1The small one you will use between the bigger ones.
Password toolsCheck a password against known breaches without ever sending it to us.
Everything included, at a published price
One published annual price by school type — no hidden quotes. A multi-academy trust is priced per academy, each school at its own rate, on a single invoice. No setup fees, no per-user pricing, no auto-renew trap.
Ceidwad Limited is not currently VAT registered, so no VAT is charged. Fees are exclusive of VAT where VAT becomes chargeable in future.
