Spry Secure

Managing an athletic department is complex and daunting, especially with all the software options and solutions available to administrators and coaches.  However, the right software partner can make athletic department operations much easier. Enter Spry!

 Spry is Mission Control for Athletic Departments! 

At Spry, we believe in providing our users with the best possible experience. That’s why we have designed our platform to be intuitive, user-friendly, and equipped with all the necessary features to ensure administrators,coaches and student-athletes can complete the required tasks. In this blog, we will deep dive into the accessibility, security, and ease of use of our product.

Seamless login // Single Sign On (SSO)

Login trouble can be very frustrating and time-consuming for school administrators. Now all Spry users can log in to the platform with just one set of credentials by using the university’s Single Sign On (SSO) integration.  We’ve simplified the sign-up and sign-in process to reduce the questions from student-athletes and coaches. In addition, single sign-on (SSO) technology also enhances security by adopting industry standard protocol SAML 2.0. With Spry’s SSO functionality, administrators can focus on managing their teams rather than worrying about resetting passwords! 

Accessibility // A platform for ALL

At Spry, we believe in inclusivity and accessibility for all. Our platform and mobile applications are designed to be accessible to all users. We have taken measures to ensure that the platform complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), making it easy for all users to navigate the platform. Spry has received certification for the WCAG(Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) 2.1 Level AAA standards for both IOS and Android app. Additionally, our platform is mobile-responsive, allowing coach and student-athlete users to access the platform on the go, from any mobile device. 

Security // Protect what matters

Spry takes the security and privacy of the customers’ data very seriously. We have a range of security measures in place to protect data, including regular vulnerability assessments and penetration testing (VAPT). Our VAPT testing is conducted at least once a year by a third-party security firm, to identify and address any potential vulnerabilities in our systems. In addition, we use industry-standard encryption protocols and follow best practices for data storage and protection.

Administrators manage sensitive information, such as team rosters, game schedules, and player information. This information needs to be protected from unauthorized access, and that’s why Spry’s platform provides additional security measures for athletic administrators. Additionally, our platform provides a comprehensive audit trail, allowing administrators to track who accessed what information and when.
