Document Management for Education

For schools, colleges and universities, keeping sensitive information is essential at all times. Documents must be stored safely and disposed of properly when no longer required. All educational institutions are responsible for ensuring that sensitive documents are stored and disposed of in a safe and secure way. Information that falls into the wrong hands could result in vulnerable young people and the staff who look after them being in danger.

Storing documents on school premises is not always the most secure option and thieves can easily gain access to personal information and abuse it. Additionally, storing documents takes up a lot of physical space that could be used for educational resources.

At Secure Storage Services, we can store all of your sensitive information at a safe location with high levels of security. We also provide document scanning so that information can be accessed quickly and efficiently by you whenever it is needed.

Online Document Storage For Schools

For online document storage, schools can use local servers or a cloud-based solution. These can be used as portals for uploading assignments or as spaces where pupils can access course materials and documents related to their area of study.

But here at secure storage, we specialise in the storage and documentation of paper-based records. Once we have received these materials, we can copy the documents and upload them onto a cloud-based server where you can easily retrieve and documentation required.

If you have an entire room filled with paper storage boxes, it can be a complete waste of space. Some of the documents in these boxes may never need to be retrieved, but as part of statuary requirements, you are expected to keep specific items for a required amount of time.

Keeping Your School Records Safe

Our secure facilities are kept in a climate-regulated, highly secure storage facility. We make document retrieval easy by allowing you to access documents remotely or by booking a time slot for you to visit our facility and collect your records.

Once your documents have passed the required amount of time you need to hold them, we can safely shred your documents onsite and provide you with a destruction certificate to validate the documents have been securely destroyed.
