Thousands of students, staff and researchers. One clear view of the risk.
For universities, colleges and research institutions. GovScape shows what governance gaps are costing across faculties and departments, tracks readiness against the standards you’re asked for, and checks Microsoft 365 every day.
Three areas you can recover. One risk, shown separately.
Operational inefficiency
Departments running their own processes for the same job, student and staff records kept in several places, and reports compiled by hand.
Technology waste
Software bought faculty by faculty, overlapping subscriptions, and licences for students and staff who’ve left.
Income lost
Fees, grants and research income that are hard to track when the records don’t match.
Risk exposure
A breach of student or research data, a failed funder or partner audit, or an outage at enrolment, worked out as probability × impact.
Standards you’re likely to be asked for.
What GovScape checks every day.
Read-only access that your IT admin approves and can withdraw at any time. Each issue lands in your 90-day plan with an owner and a date.
Accounts nobody has used in months: leavers, graduates and old project accounts.
Personal data turning up in documents where it shouldn’t be, and sensitive files without a label.
Who isn’t set up for multi-factor sign-in, and who has full admin access.
Know what’s in use, and who owns it.
Students and staff are already using AI tools. GovScape keeps an AI tools register with an owner for each tool, and tracks readiness against ISO/IEC 42001, the standard for using AI responsibly. You can see what’s in use and who’s accountable for it.

Questions we get asked.
We’re a large organisation with a lot of Microsoft 365 accounts. Will the daily check cope?
Yes. The check runs in stages and picks up where it left off, so large estates are covered over successive runs.
Research partners and funders ask about our information security. Does GovScape help?
Yes. Your readiness, policies and approved evidence sit in one place, and you can share a read-only report with a partner or funder.
Does GovScape cover Cyber Essentials or funder-specific security requirements?
Not as standards today. GovScape tracks ISO/IEC 27001, NIST CSF and UK GDPR, which cover much of the same ground.
