Is It Safe to Store Records and Data Online?
Technology changes so quickly now - it's natural to worry if storing important records there will be truly safe. For early childhood education (ECE) centres, keeping sensitive data secure is a top priority. So, is online storage the best choice? And how does Clasp, designed to be one of the best daycare software options, make sure your data stays protected?
Why Cloud Storage Is a Secure Option
Cloud storage has become the standard for housing all kinds of data, from personal photos to critical business records, thanks to its advanced security measures. Unlike cardboard boxes, colourful ring-binders, or saving files on a desktop - which are vulnerable to theft, damage, or technical failure - cloud services like Amazon Web Services (AWS) add secure “layers” of data protection. These layers include encryption, strict access controls, and privacy features that follow industry standards, making cloud storage one of the safest and most reliable options.
How Clasp Protects Your Data with AWS
Clasp is built on AWS, one of the most trusted names in secure cloud technology. Here's how AWS features work to safeguard everything, from ECE policies in NZ, to records of Emergency Drills.
Access Control: Your Data's Security Gate
AWS Cognito serves as an access-security checkpoint, verifying user identities and allowing only authorised team members to access your data. Users see only what's necessary for their role, making Clasp ideal for secure childcare software and team collaboration.
Protecting Data in Transit
When information moves between Clasp and AWS it's encrypted by API Gateway, which acts like a secure pipeline during transit. This encryption keeps all data, big or small, safe from unauthorised access while you use daycare computer software built using it, with peace of mind.
Securing User Accounts
AWS Cognito safely stores usernames and passwords with strong encryption, following strict privacy rules. This ensures that Clasp's childcare software protects personal information responsibly, in line with industry standards.
Safe Storage: A Digital Lockbox for Your Files
AWS “S3” is the storage solution for Clasp's files, encrypting each file and placing it in a secure “box” accessible only to authorised users. S3 also offers automatic backups and logs access attempts, so we always know exactly who's accessing your daycare software.
Why Clasp Is the Right Choice for Data Security
Clasp's AWS-backed infrastructure gives you confidence that your early childhood software will protect sensitive data. With Clasp, you're not just managing records online—you're securing them in a safe, reliable environment designed for privacy. We focus on security, so you can focus on what matters: providing quality care and support to the families you serve.
