What is Parish & Town Council Protect
Town/Parish 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.
Any accidental exposure of this information can have legal, reputational, and financial implications for the council. Town/Parish Council Protect provides everything your council needs to secure its devices, data, and people.
The package includes nine integrated services: advanced endpoint protection for multiple devices, five targeted e‑learning modules, a place on an NCSC‑aligned leadership course, and a one‑hour cyber health‑check with a qualified cyber‑security professional.
Why Choose 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.
Town/Parish Council Protect is ideal for councils requiring between 5–20 device licences and provides a complete, cost‑effective cyber‑security solution that scales with your organisation.
The Benefits of Parish & Town Council Protect Include:
- Designed for small local authorities: Tailored for Town and Parish Councils operating without centralised IT or cyber‑security infrastructure
- Zero‑trust, zero‑day protection: Blocks malicious activity before it can execute, without relying on outdated signature‑based detection.
- Comprehensive device protection: Safeguards all your business laptops, desktops, and mobile phones with advanced, modern security controls.
- NCSC‑accredited training: Five structured e‑learning modules equip your staff with essential knowledge to avoid human‑error cyber incidents.
- Support from cyber experts: Step‑by‑step help with installing AppGuard and F‑Secure, supported by videos and direct access to experts.
- 15 minute vCISO consultation: Direct access to a certified cyber‑security professional to answer questions and provide practical, tailored advice.
