Get efficacy research. Keep your data. Lose the overhead.

You know that research provides the evidence needed to validate your educational app and to shape development choices. Still, every researcher request triggers the same exhausting process: legal reviews, privacy assessments, custom data pulls, and ongoing engineering work. Operational costs and liability risks can make it harder to say "yes" — even when research could benefit your product.

SafeInsights solves this challenge by bringing research questions directly to where your data already lives — eliminating data extraction entirely.

SafeInsights helps Data Partners build a secure enclave around their data, protected within their existing systems. Researchers send their research questions to your data, where it is already protected today, enabling them to help you learn about your data without ever seeing it. You approve every step of the process, maintaining control of your data while eliminating the manual data pulls and operational overhead that can burden your team.

As a SafeInsights Data Partner, your organization can gain research insights that inform product development and demonstrate your impact on student learning. At the same time, you enable education researchers to conduct large-scale studies on learning outcomes that help all students succeed — research that was previously unattainable due to privacy constraints and operational barriers.

Why educational apps choose SafeInsights

  • You maintain complete control

    Review and approve every study proposal before it runs. Choose exactly which datasets are accessible through the enclave and which aren't. You choose which research you want to participate in.

Built on secure enclaves

SafeInsights is able to keep student data protected by using secure enclaves — isolated digital environments that operate within your existing systems. Think of an enclave as a locked room inside your own building: researchers can send instructions into the room, but they can never enter it themselves or remove anything without your explicit approval.

When you become a SafeInsights Data Partner, we work with your technical team to establish this enclave within your data environment. Once configured, the enclave executes researcher code on your data while maintaining strict access controls. Researchers interact only with SafeInsights's interface — they never have direct access to your systems, your data, or the enclave itself. This architecture ensures that student data and proprietary information remain strongly protected while still enabling meaningful research to occur.

How the process works

SafeInsights replaces the traditional ad hoc approach to research data requests with a standardized system where researchers never see your data.

Here's how it works:

Data-flow diagram: researchers submit questions by code to a secure enclave that runs the code over organized data and returns approved, aggregated insights — personal student data never leaves the enclave.

  1. Step 1: Researchers submit study proposals

    Researchers submit their study proposals to you through SafeInsights.

  2. Step 2: Your team reviews and approves

    You decide which studies align with your organization's priorities, which datasets researchers can work with, and what governance requirements apply.

  3. Step 3: Analysis runs in the secure enclave

    Researchers convert their research questions into code, which you review and approve. That code then runs in your secure enclave. Researchers never see individual student records or raw data from your systems.

  4. Step 4: You approve results before release

    Your team reviews aggregated results before researchers receive them to ensure privacy protection and compliance.

SafeInsights offers a new, secure, streamlined approach to research that enables reproducible results, protects your organization from risk, and can give you efficacy evidence to demonstrate to your customers.

Frequently asked questions

SafeInsights uses a secure enclave that operates within your existing data environment. Researchers submit analytical code through SafeInsights, which executes within your systems and under your control. They then receive only aggregated, de-identified results that you've reviewed and approved, and no one has the ability to see the raw data — not even the SafeInsights team.
