Security & compliance
Built to clear your security review
The controls your IT and procurement teams ask about, independently audited and documented.
ISO 27001 certified
Certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 for our information security management system, independently audited with annual surveillance audits.
EU or US data residency
Production data sits in AWS EU West (Ireland) by default, with US East available. Export it whenever you need, and request erasure on demand.
Least-privilege access
Field-level role-based access, SSO and multi-factor authentication, and segregated sub-portals keep content authors and candidate data firmly apart.
A defensible audit trail
Significant actions are logged, and every attempt carries a timestamped event history with breaches and score overrides recorded automatically.
Tested and monitored
Regular penetration testing, continuous compliance monitoring, encryption in transit and at rest, and immutable point-in-time backups.
Your data stays yours
Synap is a processor under a standard DPA incorporating EU SCCs and the UK Addendum. Your data is never sold, shared, or used to train AI models.
ISO certificate, penetration test summary, DPA and subprocessor list available on request.
One platform
Why teams switch to all-in-one exam management software
Most teams arrive here running three or four tools that were never designed to talk to each other.

One platform, not four vendors
Proctoring, marking and analytics are built in, so you run one contract, one login and one audit trail instead of a stack you assemble.

One bank for practice and exams
The same banks power practice, revision and mocks, so candidates arrive prepared and you see progress long before results day.
