Canadian edtech cybersecurity company shuriii plans to launch its vendor risk management platform for British Columbia K-12 public school districts in early 2027.
The platform continuously monitors third-party applications for security, privacy and compliance risks throughout their use, rather than limiting vetting to initial approval or contract renewal, according to the company.
Through the platform, shuriii validates vendors’ security claims against actual application behavior, watches for vulnerabilities and tracks changes in data handling. With vendor authorization, the company also proactively tests applications for security weaknesses.
To help districts maintain Canadian data residency, the tool shows where each application stores student and staff information and who has access to it.
The platform is already used by public school boards in Ontario, where shared reviews allow participating boards to draw on existing vendor assessments rather than duplicating vetting work. According to shuriii, that monitoring has uncovered security and data privacy gaps among edtech vendors and their fourth-party suppliers.
