Thirty-five years in technology and nearly two decades inside education — including senior security leadership across Victorian Government school environments.

Your school does not need more fear. It needs a clear way forward.

Schools hold some of the most sensitive information in the community. They also operate complex environments where staff, students, families, suppliers and devices connect every day.

Simply telling schools to “do more cyber security” is not a strategy.

Two Swords Security helps you see what matters, decide what to do first and build security that works in the real world — bringing technical risk, governance, people and operations together.

Start with a security review

See the risk. Build the plan. Prepare the people.

01

See the risk

An independent view of your current posture, sensitive information, critical dependencies and priority exposures.

Cyber Security Risk Assessment

02

Build the plan

Turn competing risks and recommendations into a staged roadmap leadership can understand and support.

Security Strategy and Roadmap

03

Prepare the people

Develop and test clear incident roles so leaders and operational teams can contain, communicate and recover.

Incident Readiness and Cyber Resilience

Education is not simply another industry vertical.

A control that looks sensible on paper can fail if it disrupts a classroom, overwhelms a small technology team or ignores the way teachers and students actually work.

Two Swords Security was founded by William Fleming after almost two decades across education and more than a decade in risk and security consulting — including leading major security and compliance programs.
