Security & Data Residency

Enterprise security for higher education, hosted in the UAE.

EduCore is designed to protect university data, identities, workflows, evidence, and institutional knowledge across every solution suite. For UAE deployments, EduCore can be hosted in Microsoft Azure UAE regions to support local data residency, lower regional latency, and university compliance requirements.

Security controls, certifications, residency scope, retention, and service-level commitments are finalized in each university agreement and implementation scope.

Security pillars

Security engineered into every layer.

Data Encryption

Encryption for data at rest and in transit, with separate key management for sensitive information.

  • Storage-level encryption
  • TLS for data in transit
  • Sensitive communication protection

Access Control

Role-based access so each user only sees the data, workflows, and services they are authorized to use.

  • Granular RBAC
  • MFA for admin accounts
  • SSO with identity providers

Compliance Readiness

Evidence, audit trails, policies, and reporting organized for higher education reviews.

  • Compliance posture views
  • GDPR and FERPA support where applicable
  • Agreed data residency scope

Threat Monitoring

Event monitoring, alerts, and audit logs that help universities detect operational risk early.

  • Anomaly detection signals
  • Operational alerts
  • Traceable audit history
UAE region first
