Schools’ guidance from UK data watchdog might be telling educators that they do not need to abandon leading internet services, yet, but for how long?
Geraldine Osman, of Connected Data reacts; "As paper file systems are becoming cumbersome and out-dated, cloud storage might seem an attractive option, but if you use a public cloud service your data is never 100% secure. For maximum security school leaders should be opting for a private cloud solution to regain control of school data.
With a private cloud solution you own the server where your data is stored giving the IT department complete visibility and control over privacy and location. Data is only ever stored on the appliance and only the users you authorise can access it. No other party can access your data or even its associated meta-data. This delivers the highest level of security.” Geraldine Osman, VP International Marketing, Connected Data
