It is important for everyone (students, parents, staff, OMO association) that information security is in order. In addition to complying with laws and regulations, we as a school are working on a thorough information security policy.
What is information security?
The information that is secured includes personal data, intellectual property, sensitive business information, and information about all relationships (including students, parents, and employees). Information security is designed to prevent unauthorized access to information. We also want to minimize the consequences of a possible data breach. Information security is a combination of policy, procedures, measures, and behavior.
Information Security at OMO
The association works with the “Information Security and Privacy Standards Framework (IBP),” which is based on ISO 27001. IBP helps educational institutions ensure digital security and the protection of personal data. This standards framework offers a structured approach to identifying, managing, and minimizing risks related to data processing. The standards framework refers to maturity levels ranging from 1 to 5. As a school within the OMO association, we must meet Level 3 by the end of 2026.
By complying with the IBP standards framework, Sondervick College can create a digitally secure learning and working environment for students and staff. This helps prevent technical issues and minimize disruptions to classes and exams. Furthermore, it ensures that Sondervick College meets the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other relevant laws and regulations.
