01
Security
We have answered the security questionnaires.
We have passed campus security reviews for systems that touch learning data, identity, grades, and integrations.
02
Deployment
Hosted or campus-run deployments
Some schools want Longsight to host the service. Some need a campus-run instance. We design for both.
03
Review
Campus review requirements
Privacy, accessibility, procurement, data retention, and vendor review are part of getting software approved on campus.

Support planned around the academic calendar
Longsight came from campus technology work, so we plan around support, integrations, accessibility fixes, and release timing.
