Security & Privacy
Enterprise-grade security built for higher education. Infinize protects student data with encryption, role-based access controls, SSO integration, and strict compliance alignment, so institutions can adopt AI with confidence.
Encryption in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256)
Role-based access across users, roles, courses, and campuses
SSO support with SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect
FERPA-aligned with GDPR and SOC 2 Type II Ready
PII minimization and least-privilege enforcement
Enterprise-grade security capabilities
Six layers of protection that safeguard student data and institutional operations
Encryption
All data is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.3 and at rest using AES-256. Database-level encryption ensures that even infrastructure-level access cannot expose raw student records without proper decryption keys.
Role-Based Access Control
Fine-grained RBAC across users, roles, courses, colleges, and campuses. Each role sees only the data they need. Permissions cascade from institution-wide policies down to individual course sections.
Single Sign-On (SSO)
Native support for SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect, integrating with your existing identity providers like Shibboleth, Azure AD, Okta, or Google Workspace. One login for all Infinize capabilities.
Audit Trails
Every data access, AI recommendation, human override, and configuration change is logged in an immutable audit trail. Institutions can review who accessed what, when, and why at any time.
PII Minimization
Student personally identifiable information is minimized throughout the platform. AI models receive only the data they need, PII is masked in logs and analytics, and data retention policies enforce automatic cleanup.
DevSecOps
Security is embedded in our development lifecycle. Automated vulnerability scanning, dependency auditing, infrastructure-as-code reviews, and penetration testing happen continuously, not just at release time.
Built for regulatory compliance
Infinize is designed to meet the compliance requirements that higher education institutions face every day
FERPA
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
Full alignment with FERPA requirements for protecting student education records. Role-based access ensures only authorized personnel view student data. Audit trails document every access for institutional accountability.
- Student record access controls
- Directory information handling
- Legitimate educational interest enforcement
- Parent/eligible student rights support
GDPR Readiness
General Data Protection Regulation
For institutions with international students or EU operations, Infinize provides GDPR-ready capabilities including data portability, right to erasure, and consent management.
- Data subject access requests
- Right to erasure workflows
- Consent management framework
- Data portability and export
SOC 2 Type II Ready
Service Organization Control
Our infrastructure, processes, and controls are built to SOC 2 Type II Ready standards covering security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
- Continuous monitoring controls
- Incident response procedures
- Change management processes
- Vendor risk management
Role-based access at every level
Granular permissions ensure every user sees only what they need, from individual students to campus-wide administrators
Role-based permissions
View their own records, recommendations, and academic plans. Manage preferences and opt-out settings.
Access assigned students' data. Review and approve AI recommendations. Override suggestions with logged rationale.
View cohort-level analytics and reports. Manage intervention workflows. Access department-scoped data.
Configure institution-wide policies, RBAC rules, and integrations. Access audit trails and compliance reports.
Least-privilege enforcement
Every user, service, and API connection operates with the minimum permissions required to perform their function. Elevated access is time-limited and audited.
- Default-deny policy: access must be explicitly granted for each resource
- Automatic permission reviews flag over-provisioned accounts
- Temporary elevation with automatic expiry for admin tasks
- Real-time access monitoring with anomaly detection alerts
- Cross-campus scoping ensures multi-campus data boundaries are respected
Data governance and lifecycle management
Comprehensive data governance that covers where data lives, how long it is retained, and how it is minimized
Data residency
Control where your data is stored and processed to meet institutional and regulatory requirements.
- Configurable data residency regions
- US-based hosting as default with global options
- Data sovereignty compliance for international institutions
- Infrastructure transparency and documentation
Retention policies
Automated data lifecycle management ensures data is kept only as long as needed and disposed of securely.
- Configurable retention periods per data type
- Automated purge workflows with confirmation
- Legal hold capabilities for compliance investigations
- Archival policies for historical reporting needs
Data minimization
We collect, process, and store only the minimum data necessary for each feature to function.
- PII masked in logs, analytics, and AI model inputs
- Data scoping limits what each module can access
- Anonymized datasets for cohort-level reporting
- Regular data inventory audits to eliminate unnecessary storage
