Protect Student Data Privacy. Deliver Class Rosters With DataGuard.

Share Responsibly

When sharing student and staff PII with vendors, less is more. DataGuard helps schools protect sensitive data, ideal for rostered apps that collect PII but don’t actually need it.

Protect Key PII Fields

Protecting PII is vital when sharing roster data with vendors. DataGuard masks key fields like names and classes with dynamic alphanumeric scrambles, ensuring sensitive information stays secure.

Minimize Risks

Sharing sensitive PII increases your school’s vulnerability to cyberattacks, especially if a data breach occurs outside your environment. DataGuard reduces data-sharing risks and safeguards your school against cybercriminals.
