Data governance is the first. Publicly funded and diocesan schools are accountable for how records are held, shared and retained. Ask where data is hosted, which certifications the provider holds and how access is restricted by role. A system with clear, role-based permissions and a full audit trail makes it far easier to show that records are handled properly when a governor, auditor or authority asks.
Hosting location is the first thing worth confirming directly, in writing, rather than assumed. Where is student and financial data physically stored, and does that location bring specific regulatory obligations with it? A school should ask this plainly of any vendor rather than accepting a general answer about "secure cloud infrastructure," which describes almost every provider on the market and tells a procurement team nothing distinctive.

Reporting lines are the second point, and they differ by sector. A government school reports into its authority and national returns. A Catholic school often reports to a diocese as well, and may need to record and return information that a non-denominational school does not. Confirm early whether an MIS can produce diocesan and authority reporting without manual reworking, because that is where a poor fit costs staff the most time each term.
Parent experience sits over both. Independent school families are, in effect, paying customers, and they judge the school partly on how easy it is to pay, book and stay informed. One app that covers notices, consent, billing and catering feels professional. Three logins for three tasks does not. Look for a single parent-facing account that carries all of it.
Any vendor claiming ISO 27001 or PCI-DSS Level 1 certification, Compass Education included, should be able to produce current, dated certification evidence on request rather than a general assurance statement. A useful due diligence exercise is to ask every vendor on a shortlist for that evidence side by side. A vendor that can produce an up-to-date certificate on request has clearly built the audit process into how it runs the business; one that cannot has usually not been through that audit at all.
