SAMA Cyber Security Framework
Security practices behind fee collection and school finance.
What this means for your school

Payments and billing
Fee and billing data is protected with the same controls as all school data.
Encryption
SSL/TLS encryption for data in transit.
Access control
Finance data is limited by role, so only authorised staff can see it.
Daily backups
Regular backups protect financial records.
Monitoring
Continuous monitoring of the platform.
