Security for
EdTech

EdTech handles sensitive data about students, often minors — so privacy and platform security are non-negotiable. We help learning platforms protect student data, meet GDPR, and pass procurement security reviews.

Overview

Protect students, win institutions.

Education platforms hold sensitive personal data — often about children — and sell into institutions with strict procurement and data-protection requirements. Security and privacy are both an ethical duty and a sales requirement.

We combine application penetration testing with GDPR compliance, security awareness, and the assurance artefacts schools and universities ask for — helping you protect learners and win institutional deals. We have trained and secured education-sector platforms directly.
