Some of the ways that Summit Public Schools (Summit) helps keep student data secure include:
- Hosting student data on physically secure servers
- Encrypting student data in transit and at rest
- Limiting who can access student data
- Not storing any passwords inside our system (any credentials we do have are encrypted and not stored in plain text)
- Continuously monitoring student data for unusual access or activity
- Conducting regular internal security audits
- Backing up student data daily
- Requiring third parties to comply with our privacy policy and security commitments
- Comprehensively testing new functionalities
- Conducting independent risk assessments
- Preventing unauthorized access through initiatives like single sign-on and multi-factor authentication
