Meeting KCSIE compliance
with Cloud Scan


By carrying out a daily scan and providing a detailed log of image activity and actions taken, ensures cloud storage is compliant with KCSIE paragraph 135 : 

‘It is essential that children are safeguarded from potentially harmful and inappropriate online material’ 

Cloud Scan also ensures teaching and learning is not unreasonably impacted by providing schools and colleges with the ability to quickly release content back to students, where appropriate, in accordance with paragraph 142 of KCSIE.
