Secure every device, meet every standard.

Simplify compliance without compromising learning.

Whether you're a university, school network, or training provider, securing access to digital platforms and student records is non-negotiable. XFA automates real-time device posture checks and access enforcement, helping you stay audit-ready and aligned with global standards.

Cyber Essentials (UK)

For schools and universities in the UK, Cyber Essentials is a government-backed certification that demonstrates baseline IT security. With XFA, institutions can meet and exceed these requirements, even across BYOD and hybrid setups.

NIS2 (EU)

As the EU strengthens cybersecurity for critical sectors like education, NIS2 raises the bar for technical controls and risk management. With XFA, institutions can meet NIS2 requirements by verifying device posture in real time.

GDPR for Education

In Europe, GDPR mandates strict handling of personal data, including that of students and staff. XFA supports compliance by enforcing access controls in real time, without collecting intrusive data or compromising user privacy.

Secure learning starts with smarter device checks

XFA verifies each device's security posture (including OS updates, encryption, screen lock, and more) before granting access to learning platforms and administrative systems. That means only secure, compliant devices can access student records, LMS, or remote exams.
