Data security is not a train on which you can board quickly to hitchhike. It's not a button you turn in an instant. A company can only meet high privacy and security requirementsif this is taken into account from the first step in product development. By putting privacy by design and privacy by default into practice, you turn a trend into a basic principle for education.
New issues
TheCOVID-19 pandemic highlighted new challenges in the world of education. Suddenly, 'remote learning' and 'homeschooling' became a bitter necessity of ambition. All over the world, students follow (partly) education from their bedroom or living room. This took the wishes we set for IT infrastructure, data security and software packages to a new level. Student data security, being able to work in the cloud in any place with any device and the ability for teachers to stay in touch with students and track their progress. Another example is Germany, where digital education has really received a boost. There, DSGVO-certified products are requested for optimal data protection.
By default
Asa digital education provider, how can you be prepared for these new issues, which are also indispensable in our needs. In our opinion, this is only possible if you do not purchase products ready-made, but devise, develop and offer everything up to the screw level and rules code in-house. By owning all technology yourself, you can guarantee the highest privacy and security conditions. By default. As a fundamental right, and not forcommercial reasons, to addressnew trends orissues.
Demonstrably safe
Safety can of course be claimed, but you want to be able to guarantee it. Make it demonstrable. That is why we ask independent audits to review our processes. Friendly hackers(so-called white hat hackers) test our hardware and software through and through so that we can protect it as well as possible. With the certification by the AV-Test Institute, the Prowise Touchscreen Ten as a fully certified screen has a unique competitionin the education market in the field of privacy andsecurity. Together with, among other things, the ISO 27001 certification and a soon to be officially available certification of the Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (abbreviated BSI, a quality mark of the official Germangovernment), the AV-Test can strengthen the proposition for the 'safest solution for education'.
"There is no other touchscreen provider in the education market that can provide the same independent privacy and security certificates," says Development Director and Privacy Officer Luuk Loeff.

Data privacy in education: from trend to fundamental right
Brainport Eindhoven - In many trend reports on #EdTech the subject of data privacy has been singled out in recent years. European touchscreen specialist Prowise argues that privacy and security should not be a trend, but an educational fundamental right for all school-age children.

New issues
The COVID-19 pandemic puts new challenges in the education world. Suddenly, 'distance learning' and 'home education' turned from an ambition into a dire necessity. All over the world, students are (partly) educated from their bedrooms or living rooms. This raised the requirements we set for IT infrastructure, data security and software packages to a new level. The security of student data, the ability to work in the cloud from any location on any device and the possibility for teachers to stay in touch with students digitally and monitor their progress. Another example is Germany, where digital education has really taken off. There, people demand DSGVO-certified products for optimal data protection.

By owning all the technology yourself, you can guarantee the highest level of privacy and security. By default.
