Secure Learning. Empowered Schools. [Request A Demo](https://www.identityautomation.com/request-a-demo?hsLang=en) ![K-12 Schools1](https://www.identityautomation.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Singularity/images/K-12%20Schools1.jpg?width=1000&height=667&name=K-12%20Schools1.jpg) ### Comprehensive Identity & Access Management Districts face a nearly impossible challenge of simultaneously leveraging technology to drive student outcomes while ramping up protection from cyberthreats and increasing demands on resourcing. RapidIdentity provides the identity-centric automation and cyberdefense capabilities districts need to rise to the challenge. RapidIdentity is the most powerful identity and access management (IAM) solution that is tailored for learning institutions. Its robust capabilities—such as child-friendly logins and intelligent automation—keep all users safe online, while preserving the learning experience. ##### Authentication Methods for All Users There’s no need to force a classroom experience on administrative staff. Districts deserve a role-based login experience that is tailored for each type of user. RapidIdentity helps you offer a specific experience for all users - young students, high school students, users without devices, teachers, admins – everyone!  ##### Intelligent Provisioning of Accounts Don’t settle for account provisioning solutions that are limited to only a few systems or those that can’t perform based on crucial policies that are designed to keep your district safe. Our ability to help you provision accounts based on time, role, and other attributes allows you to provide zero-day access to all users, which makes enrollment periods a breeze. Improve safety during emergency walk-off scenarios by removing access from at-risk users immediately. ##### Caters to Crucial Standards & Compliance Requirements Student privacy matters to your district—and to us, too. RapidIdentity is COPPA compliant and helps school systems remain compliant with their FERPA obligations. We’ve proudly signed the [Secure by Design Pledge](https://www.cisa.gov/securebydesign/k-12-education-technology-pledge) because we support the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Administration’s goal of keeping districts safe online. We are also proud sponsors and collaborators of 1Edtech because we believe that pervasive data standards are key to building a learning environment that is inclusive, safe, and free from distractions from learning. RapidIdentity has also received Level 4 Project Unicorn Interoperability Certification - the highest certification level.
