Protecting MathForge
Security at MathForge
MathForge uses practical safeguards for its controlled teacher service and provides a clear way to report security concerns.
Last updated 15 September 2026
Current safeguards
- Encrypted HTTPS connections for the MathForge website and APIs.
- Individual authentication with email/password and optional Microsoft sign-in.
- Organisation-separated database access rules so teachers can access only their own workspace data.
- Separate platform-administrator access with sensitive service credentials kept on the server.
- Daily backups of the primary Supabase database.
- Restricted invitation-based onboarding rather than open public registration.
Service scope and limitations
MathForge is an early-stage service and does not currently claim its own ISO 27001, SOC 2 or government security certification. It relies on the security controls and contractual arrangements of its infrastructure providers alongside application-level access controls.
The service is deliberately limited to teacher accounts, question-bank material and saved resource structures. It is not approved for student personal information, results, health or wellbeing information, staff HR records or other sensitive school information.
Report a security concern
If you believe you have found a vulnerability, unauthorised access or a security incident, email mark@mathforge.com.au. Include the affected page, what you observed, when it occurred and safe steps for reproducing it. Do not include passwords, setup links or unnecessary personal information.
Responsible reporting
- Act in good faith and avoid disrupting the service.
- Do not access, alter, retain or share another user's data.
- Stop testing and report the issue if you encounter personal or confidential information.
- Allow reasonable time for investigation before making an issue public.
MathForge does not currently operate a paid bug-bounty program, but responsible reports are appreciated and will be acknowledged.
Incident handling
Reported concerns will be assessed, contained and investigated as soon as reasonably practical. Where an incident affects a participating organisation or individual, MathForge will provide appropriate notification consistent with applicable obligations and the available facts.
