Platform and outsourced DPO support

Evidence-based compliance in plain English

A practical data protection platform for education

GDPRiS is a data protection and GDPR compliance platform designed for for schools and multi-academy trusts. It helps education organisations manage subject access requests, data breach reporting, DPIAs, records of processing activities and supplier due diligence, while giving leaders clearer oversight and access to outsourced DPO support.

Why data protection is difficult for schools and MATs

Many schools still manage data protection across spreadsheets, shared drives, inboxes and disconnected processes. That makes it harder to keep records current, respond quickly to requests and incidents, and maintain a clear view of compliance across the organisation.

SARs, DPIAs, breaches are time consuming to manage and track manually

RoPA records can become outdated or inconsistent across multiple schools

Supplier due diligence is difficult to track across multiple systems and schools

MAT leaders often lack trust-wide visibility of compliance across geographical areas

Evidence for governors, leadership and regulators is harder to produce

Busy school teams carry too much administrative burden in addition to their core duties

GDPR software for schools and trusts

GDPRiS gives schools and trusts a practical way to manage data protection in one easy to access place. By bringing core compliance activities into a structured system, it helps teams work more consistently, reduce manual administration and maintain the evidence needed to show accountability.
