RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA (January 22, 2024)—Open LMS is proud to report that as of January 5, 2024, its EDU product has attained ISO 27001 certification. The platform has been audited by A-LIGN, an ISO / IEC 27001 certification body accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) that has performed over 2,000 similar ISO Assessments.

ISO 27001 Certification is an established and internationally recognized cybersecurity standard published in October 2013 by the International Organization for Standards (ISO). It focuses on the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data handled and stored in a given environment, and these are defined as follows:

  • When data is confidential, it’s protected from unauthorized disclosure.
  • Maintaining data integrity means ensuring that data remains accurate and complete.
  • Ensuring availability means that information will always be accessible when needed.

Attaining ISO 27001 Certification demonstrates a platform’s:

  • Increased resilience to cyber-attacks
  • Greater preparedness for new threats
  • Advanced data integrity, confidentiality, and availability

A-LIGN’s auditing process included a full review of Open LMS’s scope, policies, procedures, and processes, as well as a full audit of the Open LMS EDU system via interviews, inspections of documented evidence, and process observation. A-LIGN will continue to conduct annual surveillance audits, ensuring that Open LMS EDU remains fully compliant.
