  The reliability and success of any organization such as academic institution
rely on its ability to provide secure, accurate and timely data about its
operations. Erstwhile managing student information in academic institution was
done through paper-based information system, where academic records are
documented in several files that are kept in shelves. Several problems are
associated with paper-based information system. Managing information through
the manual approach require physical exertion to retrieve, alter, and re-file
the paper records. These are nonvalue added services results in data
inconsistency and redundancy, currently institutions have migrated to web-based
student information management system without considering the security
architecture of the web portal. This project seeks to ameliorates and secure
how information is being managed in Nigeria Police Academy through the
development of a secured web-based student information management system, which
has a friendly user interface that provides an easy and secure way to manage
academic information such as students information, staff information, course
registration, course materials and results. This project was developed using
Laravel 5.5 PHP Framework to provide a robust secure web-based student
information system that is not vulnerable to 2018 OWASP TOP 10 web
vulnerabilities.
