Ensuring Data Security
School administrators and IT personnel can feel confident that student and staff information is secure with Principalm+.
Student and staff information is exported from your school’s Student Information System and the selected data is written to a Secure Digital (SD) memory card on your handheld. See How It Works for further details on exporting data from your school’s SIS.
Data security is ensured with:
- 128-bit AES encryption ensures that data cannot be retrieved without the password. The password is part of the encryption algorithm and is specifically set each time an SD card is generated.
- Individual passkeys are generated each time an SD card is written – one user’s passkey will not unlock another user’s database.
- Student data is NEVER sent to Discovery Software. It is NEVER sent through the air waves. Data cannot be printed or beamed to another device.
- Custom configuration allows pre-defined number of password attempts, followed by either implementing a timed lockout or data deletion.
