What is Parish/Town Council Protect?
Parish/Town Council Protect is a comprehensive package of security software, e‑learning, and expert support designed to safeguard councils, their staff, and their elected members. Town and parish councils often operate without the benefit of a central IT department or corporate cyber‑security infrastructure, even though they routinely handle sensitive information relating to residents, local businesses, suppliers, and community partners.
Why do I need Parish/Town Council Protect?
Town and parish councils are responsible for handling personal and sometimes sensitive information about residents, employees, suppliers, and community partners. This information must be protected to comply with your legal responsibilities, including those placed on clerks, officers, and elected members.
The software included in this package significantly reduces the likelihood of a successful virus infection and can prevent never‑before‑seen cyber‑attacks from impacting your council.
The included e‑learning modules reflect National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) guidance, ensuring council staff and members understand how to avoid human‑error incidents—the most common source of cyber breaches in small public bodies.
