Audit Trail

Immutable Evidence Record

Every action on the platform is automatically logged in an append-only audit trail. Events cannot be modified or deleted — even by administrators. This creates an unimpeachable record for quality assurance, dispute resolution, and accreditation.

  • Append-only — protected by database triggers
  • Zero records tampered — by design
  • Complete history of every supervision activity
Security

Institutional-Grade Security

  • Row-Level Security

    Every database query is filtered by institution — users cannot access data from other institutions

  • Role-Based Access

    Students, professors, and administrators each have precisely scoped permissions

  • Secure Authentication

    Invitation-only access with hashed tokens, strong passwords, and session management

  • Encryption

    All data encrypted at rest and in transit. TLS 1.3 for all connections
