D2L Security and Privacy
Nothing is more important than the security of your data.
Security Overview
At D2L, we take security and privacy very seriously. Our approach puts our client’s security and data confidentiality, availability and integrity first. Our process works, demonstrated by a track record of delivering reliable security to all of our clients and is continuously being improved.
Environment security
Good security starts with a strong foundation. D2L partners with Amazon Web Services to provide a highly secure, durable and available infrastructure for deploying our Brightspace platform. AWS is a global world leader in delivering IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a-Service) solutions and, like D2L, demonstrates their compliance through a myriad of security and compliance certifications.
Security monitoring
D2L collects, aggregates and correlates system events across D2L’s infrastructure to provide monitoring teams with real time insight into potential security events.
LMS Security in the Brightspace Platform
Access & authentication
The Brightspace platform supports Single Sign On (SSO) and integration with various authentication solutions including Active Directory, LDAP, Kerberos, CAS and SAML.
Secure transmission
Client connection to the Brightspace platform is via TLS cryptographic protocols with RSA® encryption, so client data is transferred securely.
Application security
The application is developed and tested following principles and guidelines from the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Top Ten framework to help ensure Brightspace is a secure platform.
Backup and recovery
System and client data are backed up on a regular basis using asynchronous encrypted data transfer to offsite storage to ensure that client services can be restored in the event of a disaster.
