Security & Data Privacy Architecture

Student and financial records run through isolated operational boundaries.

Isolated Tenant Boundaries

AI queries run inside isolated school tenant contexts. Cross-tenant data access is impossible.

Zero External AI Training

Student records, parent contacts, and payment statements are never sent to external public LLM training datasets.

Role-Based Access Control

Strict role scoping. Bursars see fee tools, teachers access assigned class tools, and principals view executive data.

Data Protection Act (2019)

Full audit trails log user ID, timestamp, and IP address for every query to comply with Kenya data laws.

Student Security & Compliance

Student and fee data protected by design.

Every admission record, report card, parent contact detail, and M-Pesa transaction runs through bank-grade safeguards.

Student Data Encryption

TLS 1.3 in transit and AES-256 at rest. Student birth certificates, UPI numbers, and grade profiles remain encrypted.

Strict Role-Based Access

Bursars see fee records, teachers view assigned classes. Staff only access student records permitted by their role.

Zero External AI Training

Student queries in Darasa AI run in isolated private environments. Data is never shared or used to train public models.

Full Audit Trail Logging

Every AI lookup, grade change, and fee adjustment records a timestamp, IP address, and user ID.

Verified M-Pesa Callbacks

Payments match through signed Safaricom Daraja callbacks only — preventing manual payment fraud.

Data Protection Act (2019)

Built around Kenya's Data Protection Act, 2019 — covering lawful basis, retention limits, and parent data rights.

Subscription Plans

FAQ

Questions & Answers

Yes. DarasaDigital is built CBC-first. We support the KICD four-band achievement rubric (EE, ME, AE, BE) with strand-level formative assessment tracking. Teachers record formative assessments throughout the term, and the system calculates a mode-based end-of-term suggestion. The teacher always has the final override.
We integrate directly with Safaricom's Daraja APIs using your school's Paybill number. When a parent pays via M-Pesa and enters the student's admission number as the account reference, the system auto-matches the payment, updates the fee ledger, and sends an SMS receipt to the parent in under 30 seconds.
Yes. We offer a free white-glove migration service. Our team extracts your student records, fee structures, and legacy academic data from spreadsheets or your old database, cleanses it, and imports it into DarasaDigital.
Every plan includes the full platform: school admin dashboard, teacher portals, parent SMS notifications, student e-learning portal, M-Pesa integration, timetable scheduler, NEMIS/KNEC sync, payroll, report card generation, and 24/7 support.
Yes. If you're a director running multiple campuses, you get a consolidated view of academic performance, fee collection summaries, and audit records across all schools from a single login.
Every record is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is scoped by role, and all system activity is logged for audit. We run on redundant infrastructure with automated daily backups, so your data is safe even if a device is lost or a staff member leaves.
Most schools are fully operational within 48 hours. We handle data migration, Paybill linking, and staff training. Your admin team gets a dedicated technical lead who walks through every setup step via WhatsApp or phone call.
Yes. Parents receive automatic SMS notifications when payments are recorded and when report cards are released. They can also log in to the parent portal to check real-time fee balances, view academic performance, and download report cards.
