Security Audit of World's First Soft Skills Academy

Nobody likes hackers. Well, except for other hackers and even then there seems to be a lot of fighting for world domination.We need a security audit. As a talent development company, we take creating safe spaces very seriously. That means how we act, what we do - and certainly how we keep our learners' and coaches' information secure. We mostly have the former part covered, but we need your help with the latter part on the IT security bits.As a perk, students who do this project are invited to be part of the first cohort in the history of the world (no kidding - it's that awesome!) to earn a Soft Skills Certification badge for Linkedin and your resumes. Certification runs Oct 26 - Dec 15 (with an extended grace period to complete everything by Jan 15, 2022).Data Management- Developing a data security and protection policy, reviewing data architecture, and recommending improved management practices.You could do a complete assessment of our physical data security and policies and rate our vulnerabilities. Students should be prepared to:work with React / Java Script / Muks for video optimizationplan a security audit simulate a user experience to test for flaws in security logicreport on the status of the security audit conductedmake recommendations on how to improve user securityif time permits, code the changes recommended to improve security
