Safer Technology for Schools(ST4S) accreditation for Cloudwork

 

Safer Technologies 4 Schools (ST4S) is a national service that assesses the safety of digital products and services used by Australian schools.

The ST4S badge helps school leaders and educators easily identify suppliers who have been assessed through the ST4S service. This gives schools peace of mind that simple, easy to understand privacy and security information is available for this supplier’s product, and it meets the minimum required standards for use in the badge program.

Studentnet is proud to advise that Cloudwork has successfully qualified to be part of the Safer Technologies 4 Schools (ST4S) Product Badge Program in 2021.

Undergoing assessment under the ST4S program is part of Studentet's security and safety commitment to the Australian education community.
