Commitment to Security

We prioritize the security of student and institutional data. Our course is Texas Risk and Authorization Management Program (TX-RAMP) Certified, which means:

• Compliance with Texas State Requirements – TX-RAMP certification is mandatory for Texas institutions working with cloud service providers handling sensitive data.
• Proactive Alignment with Emerging Standards – While Texas is currently the only state that mandates TX-RAMP certification, data security requirements are expanding across other states and federal institutions. By aligning with best practices, we ensure compliance with evolving security frameworks such as StateRAMP and FedRAMP.

What Data is Stored in Our System?

We take data privacy seriously. No educational institution information is stored in our Learning Management System (LMS). The only institutional data in the LMS is the name of the educational institution, which allows us to group students together for reporting purposes.
