# The Role of Cloud-Based ERPs in Data Security for Schools

Cloud-based school ERP platforms can protect student, finance, and operational records better than local servers when they use encryption, backups, access control, and audit logs.

## Key Points

- Local servers are vulnerable to hardware failure, local breaches, ransomware, and disaster recovery gaps.
- Onexa ERP Solutions uses cloud security practices including AES-256 encryption for data at rest and TLS 1.3 for data in transit.
- Role-based access control, backups, multi-factor authentication, and audit logs help schools manage accountability.
