Our Security Practices
- Data Encryption and Protection
We use industry-standard encryption to protect data in transit and at rest. This ensures that sensitive information remains secure and accessible only to authorized personnel, whether it is stored in our databases or transferred across networks. - Regular Audits and Assessments
To maintain a robust security posture, we conduct regular internal and third-party security audits and assessments. These reviews identify potential vulnerabilities and help us stay proactive in protecting against emerging threats. - Penetration Test and Vulnerability Scanning
SchooLinks engages with external auditors to perform annual penetration testing. Additionally SchooLinks performs continuous vulnerability scanning to identify, analyze, and address potential security weaknesses in our system. By simulating real-world attacks, we evaluate our defenses and reinforce security measures, ensuring ongoing resilience against potential threats. - Access Control and Authentication
Our platform uses advanced access controls to limit data access strictly to those who need it. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) and role-based access ensure that only authorized users can access sensitive information, protecting against unauthorized access. - Secure Development Lifecycle (SDLC)
Our engineering teams follow a rigorous Secure Development Lifecycle, embedding security practices at every stage of product development. From code reviews to vulnerability scanning, our approach ensures that security is an integral part of the development process. - 24/7 Monitoring and Incident Response
Our systems are continuously monitored for suspicious activity, and we have a dedicated incident response team ready to address any security concerns. We use real-time alerts and automated monitoring tools to identify and resolve security threats promptly. - Data Minimization and Retention
SchooLinks adheres to data minimization principles, only collecting the necessary information to deliver our services effectively. We also have strict data retention policies, ensuring that information is kept only as long as needed for educational purposes and compliance with applicable laws. - Employee Security Education
At SchooLinks, we empower our team with comprehensive security training. Every employee completes security onboarding, followed by annual training in secure coding practices, data handling, and cybersecurity awareness, preparing them to handle security threats confidently.
