\n \n Read about our security practices \n \n \n <\/svg>\n<\/span><\/a> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n

Our comprehensive security program helps protect sensitive data at every step.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our success depends on building highly secure product and infrastructure. Our desire is to help schools, teachers, parents, and application partners create a secure learning environment where students can thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know it\u2019s not enough to just write secure code\u2014for security to be effective, it has to be ingrained in our culture and embedded in every part of the business. That\u2019s why security is part of everyone\u2019s job at Clever: 100% of our people receive security training. To lead this program, we hire security experts who have extensive security experience for market-leading cloud services and are passionate about creating safe digital learning ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our comprehensive security-by-design approach helps to protect sensitive data at every step\u2014whether it\u2019s a district\u2019s first data transfer or one-millionth login.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helping schools secure their data<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We know data protection is a key priority for our district customers, and we understand how challenging it can be for districts to effectively manage risk and ensure high data protection standards across all of the district\u2019s unique technology partners. At Clever, we\u2019re not only committed to meeting those standards\u2014we have an outstanding security track record and are regularly investing in new tools, technologies, and enhancements to stay ahead of risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

School districts turn to Clever to help manage and safeguard Student Data shared with technology partners. Instead of maintaining and troubleshooting custom scripts with dozens of application providers, districts can easily create and update student accounts in education software and control how much data is shared through Clever. Instead of managing multiple transmissions to application providers, districts can rely on the Clever API to transmit Student Data with strong security requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Clever, districts have one security-focused platform for sharing data with authorized applications, a platform that\u2019s regularly tested and optimized for data security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full encryption in transit and at rest<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Clever helps districts secure student information by encrypting it in transit and at rest. We use modern cryptographic algorithms like AES256-GCM and follow key management best practices with strict user access control and multifactor authentication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secure development lifecycle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From initial design concept to final testing, our security protocols inform every aspect of product and infrastructure development. All development projects, including new products and features, require a security review process. It includes threat modeling and code review for any major change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cloud-hosted infrastructure is a more secure infrastructure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Increasingly, districts are adopting cloud infrastructure instead of on-premise models for one key reason: security. Most education software providers also have adopted cloud services to host their products for districts, as have healthcare providers, financial institutions, and government agencies. While on-premise systems need to be maintained, updated, configured, and secured individually, cloud services typically offer key benefits that provide stronger data security management and practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
