Safe & Smart Tech

Aeries Software experienced a data breach in November 2019, affecting nearly 100,000 students and parents, with 166 databases potentially compromised.

The breach exposed highly sensitive Personal Identifying Information (PII), including student health records, Social Security numbers, financial information, and parent password hashes. Aeries delayed notifying districts until April 2020. The company settled a $1.75 million class-action lawsuit for alleged negligence and failure to implement reasonable safeguards and comply with industry-standard data security practices. A security patch was issued in December 2019, after the breach occurred. The company stored "nearly every form of student and parent PII" for "many years," indicating extensive data collection and retention. While Aeries Technology Group holds ISO 27001, PCI DSS, AICPA SOC, and AICPA SOC 2 certifications and states compliance with regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and FERPA, the legal settlement points to practical compliance gaps. Users have basic controls to update account information and opt-out of marketing, but the service does not respond to "Do Not Track" signals. Two-factor authentication is recommended but not explicitly stated as widely available or required.

It also suggests offering discounts to customers who adopt sustainable practices like paperless billing. However, the company's waste reduction goals are vague, lacking specific targets or deadlines.
