Ensure the privacy and integrity of your digital learning platforms, without adding friction to development.
Why do EdTech companies need App Security?
Modern education platforms from virtual classrooms to school management systems face serious challenges when it comes to protecting sensitive data and ensuring system integrity. Personal information, often belonging to minors, is frequently stored and transmitted through these applications, making them high-value targets. Vulnerable code, unverified dependencies, and lack of visibility can open the door to unauthorized access or manipulation of academic records, progress tracking, or certifications. In a sector where trust and compliance are non-negotiable, securing your software isn’t just about protecting data it’s about safeguarding the future of education.
ByteHide’s Solution
ByteHide unifies your software security within a single platform.
Compliance
Keep Your EdTech Compliance On Track
ByteHide helps EdTech platforms comply with leading data protection standards like GDPR, FERPA, and ISO/IEC 27001 by securing educational applications from development to deployment. From encrypted audit trails to runtime protection, ByteHide ensures that both student privacy and institutional integrity are preserved at every step.
GDPR – General Data Protection Regulation
GDPR enforces strict requirements on the handling of personal data especially that of minors. ByteHide supports GDPR compliance by scanning early for exposed secrets, securing data within applications, and preventing unauthorized access or tampering of educational content and logic.
FERPA – Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
FERPA protects the privacy of student education records in the U.S. ByteHide helps EdTech companies meet FERPA requirements through secure access controls, encrypted activity logging, and protection of apps from unauthorized modifications ensuring that student records remain confidential and intact.
ISO/IEC 27001 – Information Security Management
ISO 27001 defines global standards for information security, applicable across sectors including education. ByteHide facilitates compliance by enforcing secure development practices, enabling runtime visibility, and maintaining full traceability over how apps are used and accessed in real time.
Next-Gen Security Features
AI Static Code Analysis
Scans your source code for critical security vulnerabilities like SQL injection, XSS, and buffer overflows. AI-powered analysis reduces false positives by 85% and offers AI-driven autofix to remediate issues autonomously. Works out-of-the-box and supports all major languages.
Software Composition Analysis (SCA)
Analyzes third-party components (libraries, frameworks, dependencies) for vulnerabilities. Identifies and manages known CVEs, reducing supply chain risks.
Secrets Detection
Scans your codebase, configurations, and repositories to detect hardcoded credentials, API keys, and sensitive information. Identifies and remediates exposed secrets before they become a threat.
Secure Secrets Management
Provides a centralized, encrypted vault for storing and distributing API keys, database passwords, and other sensitive credentials. Reduces your attack surface and improves security posture.
Code Security & Obfuscation
Safeguard your proprietary code and intellectual property from reverse engineering and tampering. Advanced code obfuscation techniques transform your application’s logic, making it extremely difficult for attackers to understand and exploit, while maintaining full functionality.
Runtime Protection & Monitoring (RASP)
Actively monitors and defends your applications against attacks at runtime. Immediately detects and blocks exploits like zero-day threats, injections, tampering, OWASP top 10 and unauthorized access. Ensures continuous application integrity without requiring code changes.
Malware Detection
Protects your software supply chain by detecting malware in dependencies, injected code, and third-party libraries. Proactively scans files and data your application manipulates, including those in storage, to ensure comprehensive protection against malicious threats and maintain system integrity.
Secure Log Management
Centralizes, encrypts, and manages all your application and system logs. Ensures data integrity, provides irrefutable audit trails, and enables rapid incident response while protecting sensitive information.
Post-Quantum Secure Storage
Protects sensitive data against future cryptographic threats. Offers highly secure data storage leveraging advanced post-quantum encryption algorithms, ensuring confidentiality and integrity even against quantum computing attacks.
Application Security Posture Management (ASPM)
Gain a holistic view of your application security risks across the entire SDLC. ByteHide centralizes security findings from all modules (SAST, SCA, Secrets, Runtime) and contextualizes them to help you prioritize critical vulnerabilities, track remediation progress, and ensure continuous compliance.
