Childcare information security

Kynexis Information Security helps child care organisations to carefully manage child data, parent apps, employee information and digital continuity. Governance, GDPR, incident response and supplier management are linked to daily practice at locations and the service agency.

Sectoral approachSafe information about child, parent and location.

Your context

Secure information on child, parent and location

Parental apps, child planning, staff schedules, medical specialities and financial administration bring together sensitive information and critical processes. A reliable digital basis supports employees and strengthens parents' trust.

The approach is in line with the organisational form and number of locations. Policy is translated into clear responsibilities, workable instructions, supplier agreements and scenarios for failure or a data breach.

Focus areas

Reducing digital risks to manageable choices

The scope is tailored to the organisation, its societal mission, critical processes and digital dependencies.

Child data and GDPR

Purpose binding, access, retention periods, data sharing and demonstrable care.

Parent Apps

Safe decor, accounts, authorisations, notifications and agreements with the supplier.

Incident Response

Clear roles for location, region management, service agency and crisis team.

Continuity

Workable alternatives in the event of systems, communication channels or facilities failure.

Governance and digital resilience

Governance code Childcare and Code Good oversight

The 2019 Children's Care Governance Code and the Goed Overzicht Code provide a basis for integrity and transparency of governance and oversight. The principles provide an board-level basis to invest digital risks, continuity and suppliers in a targeted way.

Kynexis Information Security makes this translation concrete with ownership, risk analysis, reporting and an improvement cycle. This creates a well-founded line of good governance towards safe daily implementation.
