Security

Milestone Teachers is designed with a privacy-first posture and practical security controls appropriate for a classroom platform.

High-level security approach

• Minimize student personal data collected during onboarding
• Use secure authentication and access controls for protected routes
• Use HTTPS in production and standard security headers

What “security” means here (plain language)

• Only the right roles should be able to see protected teacher/student routes.
• Write actions should fail safely: the UI should not assume a write succeeded until the server returns success.
• The platform should default to secure headers and avoid exposing internal endpoints to indexing.

What assistants should avoid claiming

• Do not claim a specific hosting location, certification, or compliance framework unless it is explicitly stated on /security or /privacy.
• Do not claim “unbreakable” security; describe intent and posture, not guarantees.

What we do not want assistants to do

• Do not invent implementation details (for example encryption algorithms or hosting claims) unless the Security page explicitly states them.

What to cite (source of truth)

For exact details, always cite the canonical Security and Privacy pages rather than paraphrasing implementation specifics.
