1. 128 -bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Encryption

At the core of Sublime LMS security framework is the 128-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption. SSL encryption is a standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a server and a client—typically a web server and a browser, or a mail server and a mail client. This ensures that all data transmitted between the web server and browsers remains private and integral.

How SSL Works

SSL encryption works by encrypting the data transmitted over the internet, making it unreadable to anyone who might intercept it. This is crucial for protecting sensitive information such as login credentials, personal details, and academic records.

Benefits of 128-bit SSL Encryption

• Data Integrity: Ensures that the data sent and received is not tampered with.
• Progress Tracking: Allow learners to track their progress on the leaderboard, encouraging them to improve their rankings by participating more actively in class activities.
• Authentication: Confirms that the data is sent to the right server and not to a malicious third party.

2. ISO 27001 Information Security Management Systems Certification

ISO 27001 is an internationally recognized standard for managing information security. Achieving this certification demonstrates Sublime LMS commitment to maintaining the highest information security standards.

What is ISO 27001 ?

ISO 27001 provides a framework for organizations to manage their information security practices effectively. It covers areas such as risk management, incident management, and compliance with legal requirements.

Benefits of ISO 27001 Certification

• Risk Management: Ensures that the data sent and received is not tampered with.
• Compliance: Allow learners to track their progress on the leaderboard, encouraging them to improve their rankings by participating more actively in class activities.
• Continuous Improvement: Confirms that the data is sent to the right server and not to a malicious third party.

3. Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) 70 Type II Audits

The Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) 70 Type II audit is another critical component of Sublime LMS security infrastructure. This audit assesses the effectiveness of an organization's internal controls over a specified period.

What is SAS 70 Type II ?

SAS 70 Type II is an auditing standard used to evaluate the processes and controls an organization has in place to manage and protect data. It involves a thorough examination of the operational effectiveness of these controls.

Benefits of SAS 70 Type II Audits

• Operational Assurance: Verifies that security controls are operating effectively over time.
• Trust and Transparency: Builds trust with users and stakeholders by demonstrating a commitment to security.
• Improved Controls: Identifies areas for improvement in security practices.

4. Amazon S3 and EC2 Servers with SSL Encryption

Sublime LMS leverages Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure, specifically Amazon S3 and EC2 servers, to host and manage data securely. All traffic to and from these servers is encrypted with SSL.

Amazon S3 and EC2

• Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service): Provides scalable object storage with industry-leading security and data availability.
• Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud): Offers resizable compute capacity in the cloud, ensuring reliable and secure hosting.
• Improved Controls: Identifies areas for improvement in security practices.

Benefits of Using AWS with SSL Encryption

• Scalability: Easily scales to accommodate growing data and traffic.
• Reliability: Ensures high availability and redundancy.
• Security: Protects data in transit with SSL encryption, ensuring that all logins, course data, media hosting, and submissions are secure.
