PII Shield Reduces Overhead Costs, While Meeting Needs

PII Shield anonymizes personal identifiable information before it reaches your platform while still allowing for personalization, authentication, and communication with end-users.

Accounts for Each User

School Passport provides anonymized data, removing PII before your application or staff ever gets access. It leaves just enough to create accounts and link them together. 

Personalized Experience

We have EdTechs that receive no PII, we have EdTechs that just enable the first name. Enable as much or as little of the PII data as your risk profile allows. 

Manage Logins with SSO

Single sign-on is our bread and butter, you don’t need PII to allow access to your application. Just enable SSO with any of our open standards SAML, OAUTH, or LTI. 

Communicate with Users

We offer Communications APIs in our platform. Simply share the message you need to be delivered to our APIs, and we will get to where it needs to go. No emails or phone numbers are required.
