For ICT administrators
School data security for ICT administrators, role by role.
A member of staff leaves: you switch off one account, while the school’s records stay kept apart from every other school’s, backed up every day.
Encrypted secrets · Daily backups · Your own web address
Your week, before and after
Four calls that reach the ICT office.

Backups

“Who changed this?”
- Today
- Nobody can say.

The internet goes down

Questions
What ICT administrators ask us first.
Is our data kept apart from other schools’ data?
Yes. Each institution’s records are kept apart from every other, and no other school can reach them.
How do we bring in the records we already have?
By bulk upload, or one at a time with a guided form. See how switching works.
What happens when the internet goes down?
With the on-site add-on, a server at the school keeps exams, the till and attendance running, then syncs with the cloud. See SchooWare On-Site.
In their words
What an ICT administrator says after a term.
When a member of staff left, I switched off one account. I did not have to change a password for the whole office and then tell everybody the new one.
