Get a Free Security Health Check from ARC: a plain-English review of your school's Microsoft 365 security. No call needed to get started.
ARC provides essential care for essential services, helping your school keep data calm, clear and protected so your team can focus on running the school.
Schools hold sensitive pupil and staff data, work with limited time and budget, and often rely on outsourced or stretched IT support. That makes cyber security a practical operational issue, not just a technical one.
Schools hold pupil safeguarding records, staff files and parent contact details. A data breach can become a safeguarding and reputational issue, not just an IT problem.
When IT is outsourced, part-time or shared across a small team, it can be difficult to know who is responsible for security when something goes wrong.
Without a clear view of your current setup, it is harder to understand your real exposure, or the right first step to take.
You do not need to commit to a full review before understanding your likely direction of travel. The Health Check gives you a practical starting point for budget, planning and internal discussion with governors or leadership.
The Free Security Health Check works best for schools using Microsoft 365 or Azure. Based on what you share, ARC will send your report and, if your setup is more complex, recommend a fuller review. Either way you get a clear next step.
Our customer feedback is independently measured through NPS, with ARC scoring 50+ against an industry average of 30+.

No. It is a plain-English review of your current Microsoft 365 security setup, designed to give you a useful starting point. If your setup needs a closer look, ARC may recommend a fuller review and will explain why.
No, and not at any point. Start by submitting your details on the short form, then tell ARC about your Microsoft 365 setup either by questionnaire or on a call, whichever suits you. When your report is ready ARC can talk you through it if that is useful, but the report stands on its own and a call is never required.
No. The Health Check is designed to be low-friction. If you decide to continue afterwards, ARC will explain clearly what is involved and coordinate with your existing IT provider or team.
ARC understands that schools hold highly sensitive pupil and staff data and operate under safeguarding, GDPR and governor-reporting expectations that go beyond typical office security. The Health Check and recommendations are framed around those realities, not generic office IT.
Share what you can. ARC will use the information provided to prepare your Health Check and explain if anything else is needed before a recommendation can be made.
