FERPA & GDPR Compliant SCORM Hosting: The Zero-PII Guide
How to deliver training courses without exposing student PII or violating university and healthcare privacy regulations.
The PII Problem in the Standard SCORM Data Model
The standard SCORM specification explicitly includes cmi.core.student_id and cmi.core.student_name. When an LMS initializes a course, it automatically injects the learner's actual legal name and employee ID into the JavaScript session. In unhardened setups, this personal data is transmitted across the wire and written directly into third-party databases.
How SCORMShield Implements Zero-PII Architecture
SCORMShield solves this problem at the cryptographic edge using Deterministic HMAC-SHA256 Pseudonymization:
- Edge Interception: When the 4.2KB dispatch proxy initializes inside the client LMS, it captures the raw learner ID and name.
- Salted Cryptographic Hashing: Before any telemetry leaves the browser, the student identity is converted into an anonymous SHA256 token.
- No PII in Flight or at Rest: SCORMShield cloud servers only receive and log the token. We never possess plaintext student names.
Stop Sending Raw SCORM Files to Clients
Deploy ultra-thin 4.2KB cryptographic proxies into any enterprise LMS. Maintain instant remote revocation, seat quotas, and zero-PII compliance.
