When major education technology providers like PowerSchool fall victim to ransomware attacks, it sends a clear message: outside threats to steal your student data are real and expensive. The question isn’t if a breach could happen, it’s whether the tools you use are prepared to prevent it. You deserve to know the answer to that question.
At PBISApps, data protection isn’t an after-market feature — it’s essential by design.
Risk of Scale
It can be convenient to store everything in one application, but the bigger a platform gets, the bigger the target becomes for your most vulnerable data. PBISApps remains focused on one mission — to support your work creating more efficient, equitable spaces for all students. Our vigilance in doing one thing well means we know what it takes to keep those data secure.
As educators, researchers, and experts in student data , we are deeply concerned with how data are collected, used, and shared throughout the decision-making process. The security measures we take are tailor-made for educational purposes. From encrypted connections to password protections, no one has access to your students’ information without your explicit permission.
Transparency Matters
You shouldn’t have to guess or assume how an application protects data. We adhere to industry-standard data handling protocols like the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), a gold standard in cybersecurity. Our certified professionals continuously monitor our systems and handle potential threats before they become a problem. Their commitment to on-going training in the latest cybersecurity innovations means your data remain shielded from on-going attacks.
You Deserve Tools You Can Trust
Ransomware breeds mistrust and thrives on silence. In the event of any unexpected data breach, be assured you’ll hear direct, proactive, transparent communication with subscribers who have been affected. We’ll share immediately what happened, how we intend to respond, and what we’ll do to prevent it in the future.
In a world where education technology faces growing threats, PBISApps puts student data protection first. We build our applications to support your PBIS goals and protect your peace of mind. We promise to keep our applications secure and our communication open, so you can stay focused on improving student outcomes.
