Why Educational Institutions Should Act Now
This is a special, sector-exclusive offer, carefully designed for educational institutions under the JISA umbrella. It is not available to the general market and no other arrangement currently matches its affordability, depth of service and legal alignment. Educational institutions are therefore strongly encouraged to lean into this opportunity while it remains available. The arrangement has been designed to allow the total cost of building, implementing and managing the compliance program to be spread across all the participants rather than being borne individually by each entity.
✓ Compliance is already required under the law and educational institutions are not exempt. Failure to act could expose your organization to legal, financial and reputational risks.
✓ While fines and penalties may appear delayed, this is a limited window of grace. The time to act is before this type of enforcement becomes widespread and public.
✓ To ensure quality service and strong outcomes, educational institutions will be onboarded in structured cohorts:
➢ Cohort 1 will include all educational institutions that sign their agreement before July 15, 2025, and will begin engagement in September 2025,
➢ Cohort 2 will include those signing after July 31, with onboarding beginning in January 2026,
➢ Additional cohorts will follow every September and January thereafter.
✓ The more schools that participate early, the better the outcome for all.
Greater participation:
➢ Reinforces shared cost efficiency,
➢ Helps sustain reduced pricing, especially for smaller educational institutions,
➢ Demonstrates sector-wide leadership in ethical data handling and compliance.
✓ Delaying your participation may mean waiting several months to join the next intake cycle – leaving your organization exposed and non-compliant when you should be protected.
By joining now, your organization secures access to a comprehensive, budget-friendly compliance solution with the benefit of sector expertise and support.
