How Integrations Work

SaferWatch integrations are built with security, isolation, and compliance at the core.

Secure Sandbox First

All integrations start in an isolated testing environment with synthetic data. Test thoroughly before requesting production access.

Tenant-Level Access

Data is strictly isolated by school or organization. Your integration can only access authorized tenant data with proper credentials.

Auditable Integrations

Every API call is logged and traceable. Full audit trails ensure compliance and accountability for all system interactions.
