Moving online raises a fair question: who else will be able to see this information? - Files travel without control An Excel sheet of students' phone numbers gets copied to a pen drive or forwarded in a chat, and nobody knows how many copies exist. - One password everyone knows One office computer, one password the whole staff shares, and no way to tell who opened what. - Everyone sees everything In a shared file, someone who only needs a class list can also see fees and guardians' phone numbers. - "It's on the cloud" explains nothing Principals are told their data is online, but rarely get a plain answer about who can reach it. ## How EduFusion solves it EduFusion keeps your school's records in one online system with clear walls: between your institute and every other institute, and between the admin and students. You can tell your committee exactly who can see what. Before Student records in registers, pen drives and shared Excel files, with no clear answer to who has a copy. With EduFusion One online record per student. Your institute's data is separate from others', students see only their own pages, and study files open only for signed-in members of your institute. ## What's inside EduFusion's cloud-based school management software These are the safeguards EduFusion has today. We list only what the software does, nothing more. ### Keep each school's data separate Each institute's records are kept separate from every other institute's. Another school using EduFusion can't see your students, fees or results, and you can't see theirs. ### Who can see student data: access by role The institute admin manages settings, finance and student lists. Students sign in to the [student portal](https://edufusionbd.online/insights/school-student-portal) and reach only their own pages: their own results, fees and study materials, never another student's. They can't open any admin page. ### Private study files [PDFs you upload for a class](https://edufusionbd.online/insights/notes-sharing-platform) open only for signed-in members of your institute, and a student sees only their own class's files. There are no public links. ### Passwords stored hashed Passwords are stored hashed with bcrypt, never in plain text. Encourage staff and students to choose a password they don't use anywhere else. ### Limits on password guessing Sign-in attempts are limited to **5 a minute**, which slows down anyone trying to guess a password. Sessions end after a day without use, so a sign-in left open on a shared computer doesn't stay open for good. ### Suspended accounts blocked at once When an account is suspended, it is blocked immediately, including any sessions that are already open. ### Payments checked, transaction IDs used once When your institute pays for a plan, EduFusion verifies the transaction ID before the plan changes, and the same transaction ID can't be used twice. ## How it works 1. Sign up: your institute's data is kept separate from every other institute's from the start. 2. As the admin, add your students, teachers, fees and results. 3. Give each student their own login to the student portal; they see only their own pages. 4. Upload study files for a class; only signed-in members of your institute can open them, and students see only their own class's files. 5. Sign out on shared computers; sessions also end on their own after a day without use. ## Why EduFusion for your school's data - Clear walls between schools Your institute's data is kept separate from every other school's, and on WhatsApp an institute can message only its own current students. - Students see only their own A student sees their own results, fees and files, never a classmate's, and can't open any admin page. - No pen drives needed Work in any modern browser on a phone, tablet or computer, with nothing to install and no files to carry around. - Honest about what we do This page lists only safeguards the software has today.

The real question is how well each way controls who sees what once more people need the data. **Ways of keeping student records, and who can see them** | What matters | Registers and files in a cupboard | Excel or Google Sheets | Separate tools | EduFusion | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Who can see the records | Anyone with the cupboard key | Anyone with the file or link | Different in each tool | Set by role: admin or student | | Students see only their own | No | No | Rarely | Yes, in the student portal | | Copies in circulation | Photocopies | Pen drives, email, chat | One copy in each tool | One online record | | Study files | Handed out on paper | Shared by link or chat | Depends on the tool | Private, for signed-in members only | | Passwords | Not applicable | One file password, if any | A password for each tool | Hashed, with sign-in limits | | Kept apart from other schools | Your own cupboard | Your own file | Depends on each provider | Yes, kept separate | | Work away from the office | Office only | Only if stored online | Usually online | Any browser, any device | ## Who it's for Principals, owners and managing committees of schools, colleges and coaching centres in Bangladesh who want to move records online and need a plain answer about safety first. - **The principal**, who has to answer the committee's question: is our data safe online? - **The institute admin**, who manages student lists, fees and settings and needs one account with full control. - **Students and their families**, who want results and fees on a phone without seeing anyone else's. ## Frequently asked questions about cloud-based school software **Is cloud-based school management software safe?** It depends on the safeguards the software has, so ask for them in plain words.
