The Challenge
Educational institutions face simultaneous pressure to support hybrid and remote learning, personalise instruction for diverse student populations, maintain WCAG and FERPA compliance, and reduce administrative overhead — all while operating on constrained IT budgets and integrating with a fragmented landscape of SIS, LMS, and identity providers.
Our Solution
We build modular edtech platforms that integrate with existing SIS and identity infrastructure via LTI 1.3 and SAML, personalise content delivery through adaptive learning algorithms, and provide educators with actionable insight into engagement and attainment — all with WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility built in from day one.
Our Approach
Adaptive learning paths driven by real-time engagement and performance data
WCAG 2.1 AA and Section 508 compliance built into every component
LTI 1.3 and SAML integrations with Canvas, Blackboard, and Workday SIS
Scalable multi-tenant architecture supporting 100K+ concurrent learners

Compliance Frameworks & Standards
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act — restricts disclosure of student education records. AI systems accessing student data require legitimate educational interest justification and institutional data governance.
Children's Online Privacy Protection Act — requires verifiable parental consent before collecting personal data from children under 13. K-12 AI tools must meet COPPA standards for any student data processing.
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines — required for public educational institutions under Section 508 and ADA. All AI-powered student interfaces must meet Level AA accessibility standards.
Federal law requiring equal access to education for students with disabilities. AI systems cannot create additional barriers for students with IEPs or 504 plans.
Federal student aid regulations requiring institutions to demonstrate satisfactory academic progress — AI analytics systems must support compliant progress tracking and reporting.
Built-in Security Practices
NDA & IP Assignment on Day 1
Every engagement starts with a mutual NDA and full IP assignment to the client. Your code, data, and intellectual property remain yours exclusively.
Secure Development Lifecycle
SAST (static analysis), DAST (dynamic scanning), and dependency audits run automatically in CI/CD. Vulnerabilities are triaged before any PR merges to main.
Encryption at Rest & in Transit
All data encrypted with AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit. Secrets managed via AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, or HashiCorp Vault — never in code.
Role-Based Access & Audit Logs
Least-privilege IAM across all environments. Every access event is logged, retained, and available for your security audits — cloud-native audit trails by default.
Infrastructure Security
Private VPCs, no public-facing databases, WAF on all API gateways, DDoS mitigation via CloudFront/Azure Front Door. Security groups reviewed on every infrastructure change.
Vulnerability Disclosure Process
A documented responsible disclosure programme and defined SLAs for critical findings: Critical (4 hrs), High (24 hrs), Medium (72 hrs). Quarterly penetration testing available.
Security review required by your procurement team?
We maintain a security questionnaire response pack, architecture diagrams, and vendor due-diligence documentation ready to send within 24 hours.
