Learning Management System (LMS) Regulation concerns platforms (e.g., Moodle, Blackboard) used by educational institutions. LMS holds student grades, personal files, and learning materials. Legally, implementing an LMS requires strict compliance with data protection and cybersecurity standards. Furthermore, the Service Level Agreement (SLA) with the provider is critical: what happens during downtime? Who owns the data? Legal.ge offers lawyers to help legally implement LMS.

What Does LMS Regulation Service Cover?

For universities and schools. It includes:

  • SLA Drafting: Agreements on service quality and continuity.
  • Data Sovereignty: Ensuring data is stored compliantly (preferably Georgia or EU).
  • Access Rights: Defining roles based on data protection principles.
  • Cybersecurity Policy: Incident response planning.

Real-World Scenarios Where You Need This Service

For example, a university LMS was hacked, and grades changed. A lawyer helps determine liability (provider vs. university) and deal with the inspector. Another example: using a Cloud service, it turns out the server is in a country with weak data protection, violating the law. The lawyer will demand data migration.

Georgian Legal Framework

Key laws: "Law on Personal Data Protection" and "Law on Information Security." LMS is often considered a critical information system.

The Process Step-by-Step

1. Contract Review: Checking provider agreement. 2. Data Mapping: Where data goes. 3. Policy: Drafting rules. 4. Training: Educating admins.
