Your data, kept in its place.
Marking records are some of the most sensitive data an institution holds. Here is how Markwise looks after them, in plain English.
Stored in the UK. Separated by design.
Your records stay in London.
Markwise data is stored in a database hosted in London. The web app itself is delivered through Cloudflare’s global network, but your marking records are not stored there.
Each institution sees only its own data.
Every record belongs to one institution. The database itself checks every request, so one institution’s staff can never read another’s records, even by mistake.
Invite only.
No public sign-up. Admins invite each person, and staff sign in with their official institution email.
Least access.
Lecturers, quality reviewers, managers and admins each see only what their role needs.
Read-only for partners.
Partner universities see only the modules they are invited to, and can never change a mark.
Tamper-evident by default.
Fingerprinted records
Each filed record gets a SHA-256 fingerprint, printed on its PDF. Any later change to the record would no longer match.
Frozen once filed
After both markers sign, the record is filed and locked for everyone, admins included.
A full change log
Marks, agreements and sign-offs are logged with who and when, and so is every examiner-pack download.
Private file storage
Filed PDFs sit in private storage. Downloads use links that expire after five minutes.
Built for UK GDPR. Ready for your DPIA.
Your institution stays the data controller. ZimbaTech acts as your processor, only on your instructions.
A data processing agreement before any pilot.
We put a written agreement in place with every institution before any real student data goes into Markwise.
Help with your impact assessment.
We provide the details your data-protection officer needs: what data we hold, where, who can see it, and for how long.
No AI on your data without agreement.
Markwise does not send marks or feedback to any AI service. Any future AI feature would be optional, and agreed with you first.
