Security
iConnect has been designed with safeguarding regulations in mind. It has built in safety features to protect your photos, and restrict staff log ins. We have teamed up with safeguarding experts to ensure iConnect complies with best practices and will enhance your safeguarding procedures. Our additional security features will ensure that the safety of your children and your data is always a priority.
Security Features
- All data is highly encrypted so information cannot be read by any third party
- Administrators can control accounts and the time of day users have access.
- We actively test the ParentZone software and servers for weaknesses.
We used to spend about £400 every month just on ink cartridges. Most of this was used to print photos. Now that all of our photos are on iConnect & ParentZone our ink lasts four times as long.
Our practitioners and management team can now see quickly and easily that children are progressing, which is essential for Ofsted.
My job would be a lot harder without the use of iConnect and Parentzone in our nursery.
