In October 2014, the DfE provided advice aimed at School leaders, school staff and governing bodies in all maintained schools, academies and free schools and also local authorities. This is a link to the document

In 'Section 6. Supplier Checklists' of the document, you'll find hyperlinks to documents provided by various suppliers, including Google and Microsoft, responding to the questions posed by the DfE. These cover topics such as Data Integrity, Data Confidentiality, Transfers beyond the EEA, etc. - topics that are of interest to many organisations in the education sector.
