Who we are and what is important to us:

Beyond unifies three technology-driven brands, Wonde, Evouchers and Secure Schools. 

Each brand shares a vision to reduce the friction of adapting technology, to help customers navigate an often overwhelming area and provide powerful solutions that make their everyday life easier. 

The three brands run independently with the autonomy to continue to prosper, although as part of the Beyond team, you’ll join a wider, supportive environment where you’ll be able to pull on the expertise and capabilities of the group. 

We do not limit ourselves to standing still. We look ahead and strive to disrupt the sector we operate in. We believe technology should not be complicated or overwhelming. It should do what it says - quickly, safely and efficiently.

Who Secure School is:

Secure Schools is an innovative cybersecurity scale-up on a mission to lead the education industry in reducing cybersecurity risks for schools. We achieve this by providing schools and multi-academy trusts with cutting-edge cybersecurity services and products (pretty cool, right?).  

Uniquely positioned as highly specialist in both cybersecurity and education, our laser-focus and deep understanding of schools enables us to offer exceptional products and services to an industry with contextual challenges. 

Our relationship with leadership teams, IT departments and service providers allows us to be ruthlessly independent, providing impartial intelligence that schools can trust.

You’ll be making a meaningful difference where it matters most, in the day-to-day safety and continuity of our schools.

• Stay informed on emerging threats, technologies, and best practices specific to schools and MATs. Conduct targeted research to ensure assessments remain relevant and impactful.
