Security Measures Overview
The following security measures are implemented in the Real Public School management platform.
Authentication & Password Security
Secure user authentication with encrypted credential storage.
- Passwords stored using cryptographic hashing (bcrypt/argon2)
- Plain-text passwords never stored or logged
- Password reset handled by school administration with identity verification
- Session token expiry enforced
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
Access to data is restricted based on user roles.
- Student, Teacher, Parent, Admin roles with distinct permissions
- Students access only their own records
- Teachers access only assigned class data
- Admins have controlled administrative access
Secure API Communication
All data transmitted between client and server is encrypted.
- HTTPS/TLS encryption for all API calls
- Authentication tokens required for protected endpoints
- Input validation and sanitization on all endpoints
- CORS policy restricting unauthorized origins
Database Security
Database access is restricted and credentials are protected.
- Database credentials never exposed in frontend code
- Service-role keys restricted to server-side only
- Parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection
- Row-level security policies on sensitive tables
Secure File Access
Uploaded files accessible only through authorized access controls.
- Files not publicly accessible via direct URL
- Access mediated through platform authorization layer
- File type validation on upload
Audit Logging
Administrative actions may be logged for accountability.
- Logging of key administrative actions is planned
- Audit log implementation depends on platform configuration
Session Management
User sessions are managed securely to prevent hijacking.
- Session tokens expire after period of inactivity
- Logout invalidates the session server-side
- Secure, HttpOnly cookies used for session storage
Infrastructure & Hosting
Platform hosted on cloud infrastructure with standard security controls.
- Cloud hosting with environment separation (production vs development)
- Regular dependency and security updates applied
- Secure environment variable management
Backup & Recovery
Data backup and recovery procedures.
- Backup configuration depends on the hosting provider and school setup
- Recovery procedures are subject to the school's operational configuration
Error Handling & Logging
Errors are handled securely without exposing sensitive information.
- Error messages do not expose internal system details to end users
- Server-side error logging for debugging and monitoring
- Stack traces not displayed in production environment
- Rate limiting on sensitive endpoints (e.g., login)
Payment Data Security
Sensitive payment credentials are not stored by the school.
- Raw card numbers, CVV, UPI PINs not stored by the school
- Payment processing, where enabled, is delegated to a third-party payment gateway
- Only transaction reference and status are stored by the school
Data Encryption at Rest
Encryption of stored data depends on the hosting infrastructure.
- Encryption at rest depends on the cloud provider and hosting configuration
- Sensitive fields (tokens, secrets) are managed at the application level
Security Practices Checklist
Responsible Disclosure
If you discover a security vulnerability in the Real Public School management platform, we ask that you report it responsibly:
- Report the vulnerability to the school administrator immediately
- Do not exploit, further investigate, or disclose the vulnerability to others
- Provide enough information for the technical team to reproduce and address the issue
- Allow a reasonable time for the vulnerability to be addressed before any public disclosure
