Anglesey Secondary Schools

Anglesey Secondary Schools, also known as Secondary Schools on the Island of Anglesey, operates within the education sector, specifically managing secondary level education institutions. Its core function involves providing educational services to students on the Isle of Anglesey, located in the United Kingdom. The organisation oversees the operation of these schools, focusing on delivering curriculum-based learning and associated administrative functions within this specific geographic region. Its primary market and operational scope are confined to the secondary schools situated on Anglesey.

The organisation faced a significant cybersecurity incident on June 23, 2021. This cyber-attack impacted all five secondary schools under its management, compelling the local council to disable affected systems to contain the breach. While no data breach was definitively confirmed, the incident potentially compromised personal data, including email communications. Specialized cyber consultants and the UK's National Cyber Security Centre were engaged to investigate and resolve the attack. System restoration was anticipated to take several weeks, causing prolonged disruptions. As a precautionary measure, the Information Commissioner's Office was notified of the incident. Authorities collaborated with partners to support the schools throughout the recovery period following this event.
