Trust
Security and trust for school data
Schoolyi is built for schools that need clear access boundaries, principals, teachers, finance, admissions, and families each see what their role requires.
Access control
How we protect school operations
International and private schools ask about access control, family privacy, and operational accountability. These design choices keep student, staff, and finance data in the right hands.
Role based access
Teachers, finance, admissions, students, and families each sign in to workspaces scoped to their job. Sensitive operations, fees, payroll, mark entry, publish gates, respect role boundaries configured by your school.
Authenticated sessions
Staff and family access uses secure sign in. Public marketing pages and admissions apply and track flows are separate from authenticated school operations.
School controlled provisioning
Your administrators create and manage accounts. Families access portals for linked children only; teachers see assigned classes and subjects.
Operational audit context
Workflows such as fee adjustments, leave approvals, and exam publish gates are designed so coordinators can review changes before families or leadership see results.
Data in your operational boundary
School records live in your deployed environment. Contact us to discuss hosting, backups, and data handling for your jurisdiction.
Privacy for families
Parent portals surface fees, published grades, and attendance for linked guardians. Unpublished marks and internal committee notes stay on staff workspaces.
Family privacy
Portals scoped to guardians, not the whole school
Parents and guardians should never hunt through unrelated records. Staff should never accidentally expose draft marks. The platform separates public admissions flows from authenticated workspaces.

Security review
What to walk through with your IT lead
Most schools schedule a 30-minute security conversation before procurement sign-off. This sequence covers the questions principals and data protection officers ask most often.
- 1
Map roles to daily workflows
List who needs admissions, finance, timetable, exams, and parent portal access. Schoolyi roles gate modules from day one so teams see only what their job requires.
- 2
Review publish and approval gates
Walk through fee adjustments, mark entry, and exam release with your IT lead or principal. Coordinators approve before families or leadership see sensitive results.
- 3
Confirm family portal scope
Guardians sign in to linked children only, fees, receipts, published grades, and attendance. Draft marks and internal committee notes never appear on parent workspaces.
- 4
Discuss hosting and backups
Requirements vary by country and school group. We review deployment region, retention, and backup expectations on a security walkthrough before go-live.
Security questions
Straight answers about Schoolyi access control, family privacy, and hosting.
How does role based access work in Schoolyi?+
Each user signs in with a role: admin, teacher, finance, admissions, student, or parent. Workspaces show only the modules and records that role needs.
Sensitive actions like fee adjustments, mark entry, and exam publish gates require staff permissions. This is the access model buyers should verify when comparing the best ERP for schools.
Can parents see unpublished grades or internal notes?+
No. Parent portals show published grades, fees, receipts, and attendance for linked children only.
Draft marks, committee notes, and internal workflows stay on staff workspaces until coordinators release them. A student information system should make that publishing boundary easy to explain and audit.
Where is school data hosted?+
School records live in your deployed environment. Contact us to discuss hosting region, backups, retention, and data handling for your jurisdiction and school group policies.
Include those questions in your school management software procurement checklist before approval.
Does Schoolyi support audit friendly workflows?+
Yes. Fee adjustments, leave approvals, exam publish gates, and similar operations are designed so coordinators review changes before families or leadership see results.
Your admins control account provisioning, giving a school ERP evaluation a concrete way to test accountability.
Is Schoolyi cloud based school management software?+
Schoolyi is a web application. Staff, teachers, and families sign in through a browser with role based access, with no desktop install for day to day work.
That makes it a practical school management system for teams working across campus and at home.
Can we roll out modules in phases?+
Yes, most schools start with admissions, roster, and fees, then add timetable, exams, HR, and operations when teams are ready.
Roles gate modules from day one, so a phased school ERP rollout does not expose unfinished workflows to every user.
How do families interact with the school?+
Guardians use a parent portal for fees, receipts, published grades, and attendance.
Public admissions apply and track pages cut status calls before enrollment, giving families a clearer path from application to everyday school communication.
Questions about compliance or hosting?
Requirements vary by country and school group. Contact us with your jurisdiction and we will discuss deployment, access policies, and backups. See our certifications and compliance frameworks, privacy policy for public website data handling.
