Security & Trust

Last updated: March 23, 2026

Our Commitment

Celerity is purpose-built for education. Protecting student data isn't a feature — it's the foundation of everything we build. Our platform is designed from the ground up with FERPA compliance, data isolation, and enterprise-grade security.

Data Protection

  • All data encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256)
  • Tenant data is fully isolated — cross-tenant access is architecturally impossible
  • Passwords are hashed and never stored in plaintext
  • All credentials managed through a dedicated secrets vault — no secrets in code or config files
  • All data hosted in the United States

Authentication & Access

  • Industry-standard OIDC authentication
  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA) supported
  • Role-based access controls
  • JWT-based API authorization with automatic key rotation
  • No shared credentials between tenants

Infrastructure

  • Hosted on enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure (US region)
  • Serverless compute — no persistent servers to patch
  • Multi-availability-zone database with automated failover
  • Automated daily backups with point-in-time recovery
  • Private network architecture — databases are never exposed to the public internet

Operational Security

  • Infrastructure access restricted to authorized personnel via secure tunnels
  • All administrative actions logged and monitored
  • Application-level logging with no PII in logs
  • Documented incident response procedures
  • 48-hour breach notification to affected customers
