The Problem

Universities face critical challenges in CHEDS data management

Compliance

Ministry Compliance Mandate

Recent ministry updates now require all universities to submit CHEDS data through the Master API on a regular schedule.

Audit

Audit Readiness

Institutions must maintain strict compliance, as data-governance audits may occur at any time.

Scattered Data

Data is not centralized

Multiple systems holding different pieces of data. No version control.

Integration

Integration requirements with MOHESR

Ministry requires all data to be submitted through Master API. Master API is constantly being updated. Frequent structural changes in CHEDS data formats increase workload on IT and QA teams.

The Bottom Line

Universities desperately need a definitive solution to CHEDS data fragmentation, ensure continuous compliance, and adapt to evolving ministry requirements.

The Solution: Compliant. Unified. Connected.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Can DataSync integrate with our internal systems?

Yes. DataSync can integrate directly with your internal systems (ERP, SIS, HRMS, etc.) as long as your data follows the same structure and format required by MOHESR templates. If your internal systems are not yet aligned with those formats, you can start with manual uploads while your technical team prepares the integration. This ensures your institution remains compliant without delays.

Q2. Why do universities need to use the CHEDS DataSync App if they already have internal systems?

Even with internal systems, MOHESR requires standardized, validated, and timely submissions through approved channels. DataSync serves as the compliance bridge — transforming, validating, and syncing institutional data securely to the MOHESR Master API in line with the Data Governance Handbook.

Q3. Does DataSync make an institution PDPL compliant?

Yes. DataSync is designed around PDPL and MOHESR privacy principles (Sections 6 & 7). It implements role-based access control (RBAC), encryption in transit and at rest, and comprehensive audit logging, helping institutions demonstrate full compliance during MOHESR reviews.

Q4. If our data is manually uploaded through DataSync, are we still compliant?

Yes. Whether uploaded via integration or manually, compliance is determined by data accuracy, timeliness, and classification, not the method. DataSync ensures all uploads meet MOHESR standards for validation, approval, and security.

Q5. How does DataSync handle Personally Identifiable Information (PII)?

All PII is encrypted and transmitted securely via API channels, in line with Section 6.2 of the MOHESR Handbook. Only authorized users can view or correct records, and every action is logged to meet accountability and breach response requirements.

Q6. What happens if we miss a data update deadline?

Section 11 of the Handbook defines update frequencies as mandatory. Missing these can affect your compliance status. DataSync includes automated reminders, dashboards, and error alerts to help institutions stay compliant and avoid penalties.

Q7. How does DataSync improve data quality before submission?

DataSync validates each record against MOHESR schemas to ensure accuracy, completeness, and consistency per Section 5 (Data Quality Dimensions). Errors can be reviewed and corrected easily through the Error Correction screen before submission.

Q8. Is DataSync secure for external audits and MOHESR oversight?

Yes. DataSync follows ISO/IEC 27001 and 27701 standards and provides detailed audit trails, ensuring transparency, accountability, and readiness for MOHESR audits.
