Schools & education
A school carries duties from several directions at once: privacy law that differs depending on whether it is government or non-government, a state education department policy, registration conditions, child-safety standards, and a long tail of EdTech apps holding student data. Most of the guidance a school finds online is written for the wrong sector or the wrong state, so schools either over-comply with rules that do not bind them or miss the ones that do.

What you get
A curated, source-cited obligation set for Australian schools — student privacy, cyber controls, notifiable breaches, child safety and EdTech vendor risk — with every obligation stating the sector and jurisdiction it actually binds.
Leading cyber security and compliance, without the big price tag.
Running more than one school?
A single school is
$4,503 / school / year (or
$395 / school / month billed monthly).
Do not multiply that out. From 3 schools it becomes a different conversation — volume pricing, one group administrator, and consolidated posture across every site with
each site still gated to its own jurisdiction, because a provider operating in more than one state genuinely carries different duties per school.
Multi-school pricing is quoted by sales — email
sales@cybersentien.com. We do not publish a per-school rate for groups, because the right number depends on how many sites you run and which states they are in — and a figure invented on a web page is not a quote we could stand behind.
All subscriptions are prepaid. Your access period starts the day you pay and runs ~30 days on monthly billing, or a year on annual. Cancel any time — cancelling stops the next charge and you keep full access until the end of the period you have already paid for, not the moment you click. A refund ends access immediately.
Frameworks covered
Each framework links to its own page.
What it covers today
195 curated obligations, each traced to a named primary source — legislation, regulator, education department or registration authority — and each stating the SECTOR (government vs non-government) and JURISDICTION it binds. That matters: the federal Privacy Act does not cover government schools, which fall under state privacy law instead, so an obligation shown without its scope would be a duty your school may not actually have. Honest about depth: every theme is now covered in every state and territory — governance, student privacy, cyber controls, incident and breach, child safety (including reportable-conduct schemes, mandatory reporting and working-with-children screening) and EdTech/records. It also covers the privacy artefacts a school must produce, not just the duties it must observe — the NSW Privacy Management Plan, the Victorian PDSP and annual VPDSS control report, and the breach-response policies WA and Queensland require agencies to publish. Depth is still greatest for Victoria and NSW. Two findings are recorded as honest negatives rather than padded: the Northern Territory has no publicly verifiable school-binding cyber standard and no TERRITORY-level mandatory breach-notification scheme — NT non-government schools remain covered by the federal NDB scheme as private-sector APP entities. Essential Eight is assessed across ML1–ML3 on real artefacts. Where an obligation is not covered, the posture says so instead of shading it green.
