nlappscloud.com takes your information
seriously. This page provides you details on the security
methods used to protect and secure your information.
SSL Connection

computer and our website is secure using encrypted keys.
You can also be assured that that the entity running the web site is who they

Data Encryption
Data encryption is essential to ensure protection
against a server breach.
All data on this website is
encrypted with a minimum 128-bit (256-bit where applicable) RSA encryption
technique, providing the highest level of security for your data.
Encryption typically uses a public and private key
methodology. The public key is given out but the data can only be viewed
by using a private key to decode the information. This key will only be located inside the
firewall at the school district. If a breach does occur on the server
hosting the application, the encrypted data could not be discovered without also
having the private key.
Secure Transfer
We digitally sign all
information transferred from nlappscloud.com
to your district’s central
office. This information has a unique code that only can be received and
decoded by the district office administrator. This signature ensures we are:
|
- Receiving the file we expect
- It is complete
- And not altered
|
This is an added security measure on the data
transfer while also giving the applications a reliable way to communicate a
successful or unsuccessful file transfer.
Electronic Signature
The Uniform
Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) ,which 48 states have adopted, defines an
electronic signature as "an electronic sound, symbol or process attached to or
logically associated with a record executed or adopted by a person with the
intent to sign the record". Many different types of electronic signatures can
be used to identify and authenticate a particular person as the source of the
electronic transaction.
nlappscloud.com uses the "I agree" method for an electronic signature and
displays the users name within the affirming statement. By accepting this
statement they indicate their intent to sign the application and transmit the
data to the school district.
