Keeping the platform secure

Security isn't a one-off task — it's part of how the platform is built and maintained. This page covers both the everyday protections and the plan we have ready should anything ever go wrong.

Everyday safeguards

• Encryption — data is encrypted both in transit and at rest.
• Limited access — only the people who need access to run and support the platform have it, protected by strong authentication.
• Established infrastructure — we build on reputable cloud providers with their own robust security, rather than running our own servers.
• Regular review — we review our setup and dependencies as the platform grows.

If a problem is ever found

No platform can promise it will never face a security problem, so the honest measure of a provider is how well it's prepared to respond. We maintain a response plan aligned with Australia's Notifiable Data Breaches scheme. If a data breach likely to cause serious harm were ever identified, we would:

• Act quickly to contain it and limit any impact.
• Assess what happened and who is affected.
• Notify affected individuals and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner as required by law.
• For school accounts, work directly with the school so it can meet its own obligations.
