Building digital trust in schools — Through visibility, control and NIS2 compliance

Echo empowers municipalities to safeguard every school PC, ensuring compliance, resilience, and peace of mind — even after reset or reinstallation.

Device loss is a compliance issue

When school PCs fall off your radar, they don't just disappear — they become silent risks.
Risks to NIS2 compliance, data protection, and your municipality's reputation.

Why it happens

  • Students reset or reinstall OS
  • Devices change hands between school years
  • Endpoint agents silently fail
  • Devices get reimaged or downgraded

The impact

  • Breach of visibility requirements (§7)
  • Broken audit trails
  • Increased IT workload
  • Parents lose trust in your school’s digital safety

Echo is more than software. It's your compliance safety net.

Echo is firmware-embedded, meaning it lives below the operating system — directly in the BIOS. It can’t be uninstalled, wiped, or bypassed.
It ensures persistent compliance and control – even when a device is factory reset, reformatted, or misused.

With Echo, you gain:

  • 100% visibility into every school device

  • Automated policy enforcement (encryption, patching, anti-malware)

  • NIS2-compliant logs and real-time alerts

  • Peace of mind — even when devices leave the classroom

Echo makes NIS2 real for schools

As of July 2025, all municipalities are legally required to protect their digital infrastructure — including school PCs.

NIS2 defines municipalities as “important entities” under §4(1)(18) — meaning school IT is subject to visibility, security, and incident handling rules.

Echo delivers:

  • Visibility that can’t be lost
  • Audit trails that never expire
  • Automated enforcement of §7 requirements
  • Secure foundations for school-wide digital trust

For IT departments

Behind every successful school day is an IT department making sure thousands of devices stay connected, compliant, and secure. Echo gives those teams full visibility and control — across students, schools, and academic years.

Fewer blind spots mean fewer helpdesk tickets, faster resolutions, and less time spent chasing missing devices.
Because Echo prevents duplicates and keeps all assets visible, IT teams save time, reduce licensing waste, and avoid costly replacements.

Echo saves time, reduces costs, and gives IT professionals peace of mind — knowing every school PC is secure, compliant, and accounted for.

For educators, students — and parents

Technology should support learning, not interrupt it.
Echo ensures every school device is reliable, secure, and always ready — so teachers can teach, and students can learn without disruption.

But Echo also provides something deeper: trust.
Parents can feel confident that their children’s data and privacy are protected — even when devices travel between home and school.
Behind the scenes, Echo maintains encryption, antivirus protection, and compliance, ensuring that students’ digital safety is never at risk.

Echo helps create a safe, stable, and trusted digital learning environment — for students, teachers, and parents alike.

For municipalities

Echo helps municipalities deliver on their dual mission:
protecting data and using public funds responsibly.

With built-in NIS2 and GDPR compliance, municipalities can demonstrate accountability and transparency — knowing every school device meets security and documentation standards.
By preventing device loss and duplication, Echo helps lower hardware spending, extend PC lifecycles, and reduce environmental waste.

Echo strengthens digital trust across schools, protects sensitive data, and helps municipalities save money while staying compliant.
