Integrity6 Data Storage & Security Overview
This document provides an overview of Integrity6’s data security practices, storage locations, and compliance with industry standards to support school audits and inquiries.
At Integrity6, we take data security and privacy seriously. We understand that when customers trust us with their enrollment data, they expect the highest levels of protection. Below is an overview of where and how we securely store and manage customer data, ensuring compliance with industry best practices.
Primary Data Storage:
Integrity6 utilizes Amazon Web Services (AWS) to store and manage all enrollment data submitted through our platform. While AWS provides a highly secure infrastructure, simply using AWS does not automatically guarantee security. Integrity6 has been utilizing Amazon’s cloud infrastructure since 2005—long before our company was founded—and we have deep expertise in architecting secure, scalable, and resilient cloud environments. Our AWS implementation includes:
No Private Servers – Only Trusted Global Infrastructure
Integrity6 does not use any privately owned servers as part of our infrastructure. Our entire application, web server, and data storage infrastructure is built on globally recognized, well-respected, and trusted solutions. Unlike smaller vendors who may rely on self-hosted servers, Integrity6 ensures that all of our systems run on secure, industry-leading platforms.
Enhanced Access Security:
Protecting stored data is only part of the equation—ensuring that only authorized users can access the system is equally critical. Integrity6 employs a challenge-response authentication system, similar to how platforms like Facebook verify logins from new devices.
When a user logs into Integrity6, we verify their device and IP address. If they attempt to log in from a different browser, device, or location, our system flags the attempt and requires additional authentication:
This feature provides an extra layer of security in various scenarios:
This additional verification ensures that even if a school delays deactivating a former employee’s Integrity6 account, they will not be able to access the system without a valid, active email verification.
Student Registration Packet Collection:
For customers using ABCEnroll to collect student registration packets, we leverage Formstack, a trusted third-party vendor specializing in secure data collection. Formstack has robust security measures in place, including:
Integrity6 inherently benefits from all of Formstack’s security and compliance measures, ensuring that collected data remains protected and confidential.
Document Collection:
When collecting supporting documents from parents, Integrity6 utilizes a dedicated Google Drive space for each school. Google Drive’s security framework is among the most advanced in the industry, including:
As a result, Integrity6 inherits all of Google’s enterprise-grade security protections to safeguard school documents.
FERPA Compliance & Privacy Protection
Integrity6 is committed to protecting student privacy and ensuring compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). We provide FERPA-friendly lottery reports, which allow schools to share enrollment results with parents while safeguarding student information. Instead of displaying full student names, our reports show only:
Data Ownership & Retention Policies
Integrity6 adheres to strict data retention and deletion policies to protect customer data:

Integrity6 has been utilizing Amazon’s cloud infrastructure since 2005—long before our company was founded—and we have deep expertise in architecting secure, scalable, and resilient cloud environments. Our AWS implementation includes:
- Data encryption in transit and at rest
- Strict access controls and authentication measures
- Continuous monitoring and logging for security auditing

When a user logs into Integrity6, we verify their device and IP address. If they attempt to log in from a different browser, device, or location, our system flags the attempt and requires additional authentication:
- An email containing a one-time security code is sent to the user’s registered email address.
- The user must enter this code to proceed with logging in.
This feature provides an extra layer of security in various scenarios:
- Unauthorized access prevention – If a user’s credentials are compromised, a hacker still cannot log in without the email verification.
- Protecting school accounts – If a school staff member logs in from an unexpected location, they will be challenged to verify their identity.
- Former employee access prevention – If a staff member is terminated but their account has not yet been deactivated, they will be blocked from logging in since they no longer have access to their registered school email account.
This additional verification ensures that even if a school delays deactivating a former employee’s Integrity6 account, they will not be able to access the system without a valid, active email verification.
Student Registration Packet Collection:
For customers using ABCEnroll to collect student registration packets, we leverage Formstack, a trusted third-party vendor specializing in secure data collection. Formstack has robust security measures in place, including:
- Enterprise-level encryption
- Data compliance with major privacy standards (GDPR, HIPAA, FERPA)
- Role-based access controls
Integrity6 inherently benefits from all of Formstack’s security and compliance measures, ensuring that collected data remains protected and confidential.
Document Collection:
When collecting supporting documents from parents, Integrity6 utilizes a dedicated Google Drive space for each school. Google Drive’s security framework is among the most advanced in the industry, including:
- Secure storage with encryption at rest and in transit
- Granular sharing and access control mechanisms
- Multi-factor authentication (MFA) for enhanced protection
As a result, Integrity6 inherits all of Google’s enterprise-grade security protections to safeguard school documents.
FERPA Compliance & Privacy Protection
Integrity6 is committed to protecting student privacy and ensuring compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). We provide FERPA-friendly lottery reports, which allow schools to share enrollment results with parents while safeguarding student information. Instead of displaying full student names, our reports show only:
- The first three letters of the student’s last name
- The first initial of the student’s first name
Data Ownership & Retention Policies
Integrity6 adheres to strict data retention and deletion policies to protect customer data:
- Schools retain full ownership of their data – Integrity6 does not claim any rights to school data, as explicitly stated in our contracts.
- Permanent deletion upon request – Schools can request data deletion at any time.
