Governance and compliance

Snack organizes its public trust story around the controls and documents school and enterprise reviewers actually ask for.

Access and authentication

Role-based access, MFA requirements, and documented administrative safeguards protect access to customer data.

Data protection and privacy

Encryption, audit logging, retention controls, and time-limited access patterns are central to the public security posture.

School-audit ready

District-facing privacy, DPA, AI, retention, and vendor review materials stay easy to access for audit workflows.

Security governance and controls

Control domains that map to how schools and enterprises review software

This page emphasizes governance, access, privacy, monitoring, resilience, and incident response rather than implementation detail. The goal is to answer common audit questions without exposing unnecessary stack specifics on the marketing page.

Security governance

Security practices align with NIST Cybersecurity Framework v1.1 and are documented in public policies and trust materials designed to support school, procurement, and legal review.

Access and authentication

Administrative access is limited by role and protected with multi-factor authentication requirements.

Data protection

Customer data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with logical separation controls and limited-access handling.

Logging and auditability

Key administrative and compliance-sensitive events are logged, with certain audit categories retained for up to 7 years.

Availability and resilience

Infrastructure, backups, and recovery planning are designed to support continuity, reliability, and customer operations.

AI and data usage controls

AI workflows are governed by documented data-use controls, workspace-level settings, and stronger restrictions for K-12 organizations.

Privacy and retention controls

Organizations can manage transcript retention, human review, and AI improvement preferences at the workspace level.

Incident response

Incident response and breach notification timelines are governed by applicable law and customer contract or DPA terms.

Vendor oversight

Service providers are reviewed through contractual, privacy, and security requirements before they support customer-facing workflows.

School audit readiness

Built to support district, enterprise, higher-ed, and international review

Snack keeps school-audit language, procurement support, and document access visible so districts can review controls without relying on public stack disclosure.
