Technical Due Diligence for Education & EdTech

An independent read on technology, security, and team risk before you commit the capital.

Why it matters in education & edtech

You're handling children's data and often sit inside safeguarding-critical workflows. Schools, trusts and universities buy on trust — and increasingly won't sign until you can evidence that your platform is secure and compliant.

  • Protecting children's data under UK GDPR and the Age-Appropriate Design (Children's) Code
  • Passing school, multi-academy trust and university security and data-protection due diligence to win deals
  • Meeting the DfE's cyber security standards for schools and wider safeguarding expectations
  • Turning AI features into something schools can adopt safely — with the right guardrails around minors

What you get

  • Architecture, scalability, and technical-debt assessment
  • Security, privacy, and compliance risk review
  • Engineering team, process, and delivery-capability evaluation
  • AI and data review — IP, model risk, and data rights
  • A clear report with red flags, costs, and a post-deal remediation plan
