School Security

What "secure" should actually mean when you're trusting a platform with student and family data.

Data security starts with access control

Not every staff member needs access to every record. Role-based permissions ensure a teacher can't view fee details, and office staff can't edit exam marks, unless explicitly authorized.

Encryption in transit and at rest

Student and family data should be encrypted both while it travels between your device and the server, and while it sits in storage.

Backups are part of security, not an afterthought

A secure system isn't just about preventing unauthorized access — it also means your data survives a lost device, a failed server, or accidental deletion.

Audit trails for accountability

Every sensitive action — a grade change, a fee adjustment — should be logged with who made it and when, so schools can investigate any discrepancy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Only staff with the appropriate role and permission level — configurable per school — can view sensitive student data.

Because data lives in the cloud rather than on the device, a lost device doesn't mean lost data — access can be revoked immediately from the admin dashboard.
