ISO 27001 and information security
How Spark-Ed manages information security for schools.
What this means for your school
ISO 27001 is the international standard for managing information security. Spark-Ed is ISO 27001 certified, and runs on cloud infrastructure that is itself ISO 27001 certified.
Cloud only, on AWS
Spark-Ed runs only in the cloud, so there is nothing to install or maintain at your school.
Daily backups
Your data is backed up every day so it can be restored if something goes wrong.
Continuous monitoring
The platform is monitored around the clock for availability and unusual activity.
Encryption in transit
Data travels over SSL/TLS encryption between your users and the platform.
Access control
Role-based access and single sign-on keep students, parents and staff to their own data.
Risk-based approach
Security is reviewed as part of how we build, host and support the platform.
Where your data lives
Each school is assigned a hosting region on AWS. All regions use the same security practices.
Saudi Arabia
Schools in the Kingdom are hosted on AWS in KSA.
United Arab Emirates
UAE schools are hosted on AWS in the UAE.
USA, Canada and Mexico
Hosted on AWS in California.
