Data protection and security in an educational context

Securing Data, Building Trust

The rise of digital learning tools and solutions, combined with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and cloud computing, is driving the large-scale collection of personal data in the education sector and raising unprecedented legal challenges.

These developments heighten the responsibility of educational stakeholders, who already operate within a strict regulatory framework — particularly due to the sensitivity of data relating to minors.

In this context, data protection can no longer be treated as a purely technical issue. It is a strategic priority that calls for clear, sustainable governance aligned with the education sector’s specificities and the growing expectations of parents, teachers and students.
