See where you are – and see what’s next
A clear structure to manage complex requirements
Digital standards are now an essential part of a school’s infrastructure, safeguarding and operational planning, with some due to become mandatory in the future.
But tracking those standards – across multiple sites, teams or systems – can quickly become unmanageable.
Computeam Compass gives you a simple, secure place to monitor your progress across the full set of published expectations. Areas such as:
Cyber security
From multi-factor authentication and backup planning to user access controls and awareness training for staff and students, keeping your school or MAT safe and secure.
Filtering and monitoring
Supporting your online safety duties under Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) through clear, reviewable filtering and monitoring strategies.
Network Infrastructure
Ensuring your switching and wireless systems are fast, stable, securely configured and centrally managed, to provide the best experience for pupils and staff.
Broadband connectivity
Tracking service type, speed, failover capability and compliance with the DfE’s full fibre expectations – giving you reliable access to exciting web-based applications and cloud-based infrastructure.
Digital governance
Recording leadership roles, policies and business continuity measures that include digital technology.
Through Computeam Compass, each standard is broken into manageable actions, allowing school teams to update progress, track changes and export reports.
Built for schools and MATs
Trust-wide visibility and simple collaboration
For individual schools, the dashboard works as a focused space to manage compliance, with tools for bookmarking, assigning responsibility and reviewing timelines.
For multi-academy trusts, it offers a trust-wide view. Central teams can assess how each school is progressing, compare performance and apply bulk updates where needed.
Everything is auditable. Each action is time-stamped and linked to a user, helping you keep an accurate record of compliance activity for governors, inspectors or internal reviews.
Why your school or MAT needs Computeam Compass
Plan with confidence
Computeam Compass provides a clear record of compliance across every part of your digital infrastructure – helping school and trust leaders take informed, timely decisions around upgrades, training and procurement.
Align with wider goals
By tracking digital standards alongside development plans, schools can make sure investment in IT directly supports teaching, safeguarding and operational improvement.
Keep track of progress
Each action is recorded with a timestamp and linked user, building a visible trail of updates over time. This helps teams monitor what’s complete, what’s pending and where delays may be emerging.
Improve communication
With a shared view of the data, IT leads, school business managers and trust executives can all work towards the same goals, supporting more joined-up planning and smoother inspection preparation.
Reduce long-term risk
Maintaining compliance with DfE standards helps reduce the likelihood of technical failure, safeguarding gaps or data protection issues. The dashboard brings those risks into plain view before they become problems.
Through Computeam Compass, each standard is broken into manageable actions, allowing school teams to update progress, track changes and export reports.
