How we protect your data

Security controls at every layer

Encryption everywhere

Data is encrypted in transit with TLS 1.2+ (HTTPS) and at rest with AES-256.

Tenant isolation

Every district’s data is isolated at the database level with PostgreSQL Row-Level Security — one district’s data can never be returned to another, even in the event of an application bug.

Authenticated access

Every request is validated by API key and tied to a registered domain, with rate limiting to guard against abuse.

Hardened headers

Content-Security-Policy and clickjacking protections (X-Frame-Options) are applied to widget responses.

Audit logging

Data access is logged for compliance reviews and audit trails, viewable in the admin dashboard.

Enterprise hosting

Hosted on Microsoft Azure, with automatically encrypted backups.
