Frequently Asked Questions
Does SOC 2 address student data privacy requirements?
SOC 2 Privacy criteria can address some requirements, but FERPA, COPPA, and state student privacy laws have specific provisions that may require additional controls and documentation.
What unique controls do EdTech companies need?
EdTech-specific controls include age verification, parental consent management, student data deletion procedures, classroom data isolation, and integration security with Student Information Systems.

Districts use frameworks like Student Data Privacy Consortium vetting and state-approved vendor lists. SOC 2 Type II significantly accelerates approval processes and satisfies most technical requirements.
