Compliance-ready audit logging for education technology platforms. Meet FERPA, COPPA, and state student privacy requirements with immutable audit trails.
Education technology platforms handle some of the most sensitive data categories: student records, grades, behavioral data, and information about minors. FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) governs access to student education records, while COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) applies to platforms serving children under 13. State student privacy laws like California's SOPIPA and New York's Education Law 2-d add additional requirements. EdTech platforms must maintain detailed audit trails of who accessed student data, when, and for what purpose. AuditKit provides the audit infrastructure that EdTech companies need to demonstrate compliance to school districts, parents, and regulators.

FERPA requires schools (and their vendors) to track access to student education records. EdTech platforms must log who accessed what student data and when.
COPPA requires verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information from children under 13. Consent events must be logged and verifiable.
State student privacy laws restrict sharing student data with third parties. All data sharing events must be logged with recipient, purpose, and legal basis.
School districts increasingly require vendors to provide audit reports showing data access patterns, security events, and compliance status.
SHA-256 hash chains and Merkle tree proofs provide mathematical proof that your edtech audit records have not been altered. This level of integrity assurance is increasingly expected by regulators and auditors.
AuditKit enforces strict tenant isolation at the infrastructure level. Your customers' audit data is logically separated, satisfying data segregation requirements common in edtech compliance frameworks.
Stream audit events to your existing SIEM for real-time monitoring and alerting. AuditKit integrates with Splunk, Datadog, Elastic, and other platforms commonly used in edtech security operations.
AuditKit is open source, so your security team and auditors can inspect the code. This transparency is particularly valued in edtech where trust and verifiability are paramount.
EdTech companies need to log access to student education records (FERPA), parental consent events (COPPA), data sharing activities (state privacy laws), and security events (SOC 2). AuditKit provides immutable audit trails that satisfy these requirements and support district compliance reporting.
School districts require SOC 2 compliance and detailed data privacy assurances from EdTech vendors. AuditKit provides tamper-proof audit logs that demonstrate compliance, a React viewer for district compliance reviews, and the evidence collection needed to pass SOC 2 audits.
