Security

At EduVAULT, we take your data security seriously. Our platform is equipped with robust protection to ensure your personal and educational information stays safe from any threats. We’re here to give you the confidence that your data is secure every step of the way. Here’s how we do it:

1. Data Encryption

To secure the data you share with us, EduVAULT employs advanced encryption protocols.

• Encryption in Transit: We use TLS (Transport Layer Security) to encrypt data in transit between your device and our servers, ensuring that all communications are protected from interception.
• Encryption at Rest: All sensitive data stored on our servers is encrypted using 256-bit AES encryption. This means even in the event of unauthorized physical access to the storage media, the data remains unreadable without the decryption key.

2. Secure Access Control

We implement strict access controls to ensure that only authorized users can access sensitive data.

• Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Data access is granted based on a user’s role within your institution or organization. Users can only access data necessary for their responsibilities, minimizing the risk of unauthorized access.
• Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): We require multi-factor authentication to access accounts. This additional layer of security ensures that even if login credentials are compromised, unauthorized access is prevented.

3. Continuous Monitoring and Threat Detection

Our platform is continuously monitored for potential security threats and suspicious activities.

• 24/7 Security Monitoring: Our security operations team monitors the platform round-the-clock, leveraging automated tools to detect anomalies and respond to potential security incidents.
• Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS): We employ IDS to identify and alert us to unauthorized attempts to access or manipulate the system, ensuring rapid response to any threats.

4. Regular Security Audits and Vulnerability Assessments

EduVAULT undergoes regular security audits to identify and address potential vulnerabilities.

• Penetration Testing: We conduct periodic penetration testing to simulate cyber-attacks and evaluate our defenses, identifying weaknesses before they can be exploited by malicious elements.
• Vulnerability Scanning: Our security team performs automated vulnerability assessments to ensure all systems remain up-to-date and resistant to known threats.

5. Data Backup and Disaster Recovery

We ensure that your data remains protected and recoverable in the event of a disaster.

• Encrypted Backups: Data is securely backed up in encrypted formats, ensuring that backups remain protected from unauthorized access.
• Geographically Redundant Backups: Backups are stored in multiple locations to ensure that data can be recovered in the event of a localized issue, such as a natural disaster or hardware failure.
• Disaster Recovery Protocols: In the event of a system failure, we have a detailed disaster recovery plan in place to quickly restore data and resume operations with minimal downtime.

6. Third-Party Security

EduVAULT partners only with trusted third-party service providers who meet our strict security standards.

• Third-Party Audits: We require that third-party providers undergo regular security audits to ensure compliance with our security protocols.
• Data Processing Agreements: We have formal data processing agreements in place with all third-party vendors that process any of your data to ensure they adhere to our security requirements.

7. Incident Response Plan

In the rare event of a security breach, we are prepared with a robust incident response plan.

• Rapid Detection and Containment: Our security team is trained to quickly identify and contain any security incidents, minimizing the impact on our users.
• Root Cause Analysis: After the incident, we conduct a detailed investigation to identify the root cause and take corrective measures to prevent future occurrences.
• User Notification: In case of a breach affecting your data, we commit to notifying affected users promptly, along with providing guidance on how to protect themselves.

8. Secure Software Development

We follow industry best practices in software development to ensure our platform is secure from the ground up.

• Secure Coding Practices: Our development team follows strict secure coding standards to prevent vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and other common security issues.
• Code Reviews and Static Analysis: We regularly conduct code reviews and use automated static analysis tools to identify and fix security vulnerabilities during the development process.

9. Compliance with Industry Standards

EduVAULT adheres to industry-leading security standards and regulations to ensure that your data is handled with the utmost care.

• ISO/IEC 27001 Certification: We are committed to maintaining compliance with ISO/IEC 27001, the international standard for information security management systems (ISMS).
• GDPR and Data Protection Regulations: We ensure that all security practices are in line with regional and international data protection regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

10. Ongoing Security Improvements

We recognize that cybersecurity is an ever-evolving field. EduVAULT is committed to continuously improving its security practices.

• Security Research: We invest in the latest security research and trends to stay ahead of emerging threats.
• Platform Updates: We regularly update our platform to fix vulnerabilities, improve defenses, and add new security features.
