Reimagining Pastoral Care with Encrypted Notes

Pastoral counseling requires absolute discretion. Standard database storage makes pastoral notes readable to system administrators and database managers, creating a security and trust vulnerability.

AES-256 Symmetric Encryption

EcclesiaOne encrypts all counseling notes on the client or edge level before writing to the database using AES-256 keys. Only verified pastors and counselors with proper credentials possess the access keys to decrypt and view the notes.

Dignity & Compliance

This safeguards sensitive conversations in compliance with the Kenya Data Protection Act 2019 and preserves congregational trust.
