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
