Data protection
To be, or not to USB?
Encrypted USB Pen Drives
Pupil data should never be taken away from the school unless it is on a fully encrypted device. We can supply USB pen drives with data encryption in order to help protect the school data when in transit.
Kingston USB Pen Drive with 256 Bit Encryption
These drives are designed for establishments that require a secure way to store and transfer portable data. They feature hardware-based, 256-Bit AES encryption to safeguard sensitive data in case the drive is lost or stolen. All data on the drive is encrypted.
After 10 intrusion attempts to access data on the drive without the correct password the drive is reformatted, deleting the data to fully protect it.

Data Safes
It is essential that your servers are backup up on a daily basis and we automate this for you when setting up the servers.
However, you also need to keep the tapes safe and in a separate location from the server in case of fire or theft. If the server was stolen or destroyed along with your tapes then you would permanently lose all of your data. This would be a disaster for the school.
We can supply special data safes that are designed to protect computer media keeping it below the temperature of 52 degrees centigrade. The safes all have a double door construction with double water resistant seals on the inner door. They feature high quality locks with 2 keys. Costs shown include delivery to the school on the Ground Floor; an elevator would be required to deliver them to alternate floors.
