Schools & Campuses

Drills, coordinated response and campus-wide situational awareness.

The environment

What operating here is like

Open sites with a transient population, a small security team, and a duty of care that is scrutinised publicly when something goes wrong. Most staff involved in an incident are not security professionals.

Challenges

What makes this environment hard

Specific to this sector, not a generic security checklist.

  • Response depends on staff who have no security training
  • Buildings are open by design, so perimeter control is limited
  • Drills are mandated but rarely measured for effectiveness
  • Parents, staff and authorities all need coordinated communication

Deploying here

Deployment, integrations and trust

Deployment considerations

  • Often begins with a single campus and expands per site
  • Training rollout usually matters more than detection tuning
  • Available online on Essential or Professional

Integrations

  • Existing camera systems
  • Mass notification and SMS transport
  • Directory for staff records
Integration catalog

Security & trust

Minor safeguarding and data retention are the sensitive areas. Location and presence data are governed by the same retention rules as the rest of the platform, and access is site-scoped rather than organisation-wide.

Security model

Start with a single site

Essential and Professional are available online and licensed per site, so you can begin with one and add the rest as you go.
