EdTech & eLearning Cybersecurity for Learning Platforms, Students & Staff
Protect your student data, secure online learning platforms, and ensure academic continuity with continuous penetration testing tailored for educational institutions and EdTech companies.
Secure learning environments without disrupting education
From universities to K-12 portals and EdTech startups, we help educational platforms prevent breaches, data leaks, and service disruptions while staying compliant with global data regulations.
LMS & Platform Security
We secure your digital classroom stack-learning management systems, video portals, and EdTech tools-by testing for vulnerabilities that could lead to data exposure or platform downtime. Whether you're scaling a campus network or managing thousands of online learners, we keep learning systems secure and uninterrupted.
Student Data Privacy & Compliance
Our assessments help you protect academic records, student identities, and usage data while meeting education-sector privacy benchmarks like ST4S, FERPA, and GDPR. We help you avoid costly compliance gaps and build trust with schools, students, and parents through continuous validation.
Ransomware & Phishing Simulation
Schools and EdTech providers are frequent targets of phishing and ransomware attacks. We simulate real-world scenarios across email systems, admin interfaces, and third-party integrations-so you can close gaps before attackers exploit them and keep learning on track.

What Our Client Say
"Working with Capture The Bug made our first pentest feel effortless. After reviewing multiple vendors, it was clear their approach stood out-fast onboarding, clear communication, and a platform that just made sense for our dev team. Throughout the test, we had full visibility into progress and could easily collaborate on findings using built-in feedback tools. The bug reports were clear, actionable, and easy to discuss with our internal team. The experience felt less like working with a vendor and more like adding a true extension to our engineering workflow. We'll definitely be partnering with them again. "
