Security and compliance for education and ed-tech

Protect student data and clear district procurement.

Education

Built for the requirements your buyers and regulators bring

Schools, universities, and ed-tech platforms hold sensitive student and family data and answer to districts, states, and procurement reviews. We build the program that protects that data and clears the security bar buyers now require.

Frameworks we deliver here
SOC 2 ISO 27001 NIST CSF FERPA-aligned controls

The Risks

What's at stake in education

Student data exposure

Records, grades, and family PII are high-value targets and tightly regulated. A breach is both a compliance event and a trust event.

District procurement gates

Districts and universities increasingly require SOC 2 or a completed security review before they will sign. No program, no contract.

Sprawling access

Teachers, students, parents, and admins all need different access. Loose identity and access controls are the most common gap we see.

Common Gaps

What we typically find

The most common gaps we see when we assess organizations in this space:

No formal data classification for student records
Missing or untested incident response plan
Weak access reviews across rostering and SIS integrations
No vendor risk process for sub-processors

Challenge

An ed-tech platform losing deals because districts require a completed security review and SOC 2 before they will sign.

Approach

  • Map and classify student-data flows across the platform and SIS integrations
  • Stand up SOC 2 controls, access reviews, and a tested incident response plan
  • Build a reusable district security-review response package

Outcome

  • SOC 2 readiness in roughly 12 weeks
  • District security reviews cleared in days, not weeks
  • Procurement unblocked and deals no longer stalling on security
