DataGuard is an upgrade for ClassLink Roster Server, designed to empower educational institutions to take control of their data by securing rostered applications with masked Personally Identifiable Information (PII). This solution allows schools to share only essential PII with vendor partners, effectively reducing security risks and ensuring sensitive student and staff data remains protected. It is particularly ideal for rostered applications that collect PII but do not necessarily require it for their core functionality. The software helps schools protect key PII fields by dynamically masking, replacing, or substituting sensitive information such as names, user IDs, email addresses, class titles, and birth dates with alphanumeric scrambles. This proactive approach minimizes the school's vulnerability to cyberattacks and safeguards against potential data breaches, especially when data is shared outside the school's immediate environment. DataGuard is accessed through the ClassLink Roster Server and is available at a cost of $0.25 per user per year, offering a cost-effective solution to enhance data privacy and compliance within the educational sector.
