Why security-focused schools choose Ordis

Protect learner data, strengthen governance, and scale operations with one secure school platform.

Stronger Student Data Privacy

Protect learner records with role-safe access, tenant isolation, and school-scoped security controls.

Operational Confidence for Leadership

Run academics and operations on one platform with security controls designed to reduce risk without slowing teams down.

Scalable Multi-School Trust

Expand from one school to many while keeping each school isolated with independent governance boundaries.

Security controls by domain

Practical safeguards aligned to how schools evaluate data protection, access, and continuity risk.

Tenant Isolation and RLS

School data boundaries are enforced with tenant-scoped access checks across core data tables.

  • Row-level security policies scope reads and writes to school_id
  • Policy baseline checks guard against permissive tenant policies

Role-Based Access Boundaries

Each stakeholder accesses only the workflows and records required for their responsibilities.

  • Owner, Admin, Teacher, Parent, and Student roles are separated
  • Role checks are applied in route, RPC, and policy flows

Authentication and Session Controls

Credential and session workflows are designed to strengthen account security for school users.

  • Password complexity rules are enforced in provisioning and reset flows
  • Must-reset-password and inactivity timeout controls are implemented

Storage and Upload Hardening

Document and assignment storage paths are restricted with strict validation and scoped access rules.

  • Private buckets and school-scoped path checks prevent cross-tenant file access
  • Upload flows validate file type, file size, and allowed document requirements

Browser and Transport Hardening

Security headers and HTTPS-first controls reduce browser-side attack surface.

  • HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, and Permissions-Policy are configured
  • CSP Report-Only directives are deployed with staged enforcement policy

Auditability and Governance

Critical school operations are traceable to support governance and accountability.

  • Audit logs capture changes across high-value entities
  • Database triggers record insert, update, and delete lifecycle events

Continuity and Data Integrity

Archive lifecycle controls support long-term continuity, verification, and recovery readiness.

  • Immutable archive records include SHA-256 hash metadata and verification state
  • Archive access uses signed URLs with school-scoped authorization checks

Abuse Prevention and Monitoring

Public endpoints and upload workflows include anti-abuse controls and telemetry collection.

  • Rate limits, honeypot checks, and dedupe guards reduce form and upload abuse
  • CSP violation telemetry is collected for policy tuning and investigation

Operational assurance built into daily workflows

Ordis supports ongoing trust with monitored controls, archive verification workflows, and retention-aware data operations.

Continuous Security Monitoring

CSP violation reports, operational logs, and controlled rollout checkpoints support ongoing visibility into security posture.

Archive Integrity Verification

Archive hash verification workflows compare stored and computed SHA-256 values to confirm artifact integrity.

Retention and Recovery Readiness

Per-school archive policy defaults enforce long-term retention posture and controlled access to recovery artifacts.

Ordis uses tenant-scoped row-level security with school_id checks so each school operates within its own protected data boundary.
