Shipped

Stripe Checkout for self-serve card payments

Teachers and small schools can now buy any edition with a card without waiting on an invoice. Invoice / PO flow remains available for districts. Receipts are emailed automatically by Stripe; the dashboard unlocks the moment payment confirms.

Security

PDF + PPTX downloads now buyer-watermarked

Every page footer of every downloaded artifact now includes the buying account's email and short order reference, so accidental redistribution is traceable. Free preview downloads remain unwatermarked.

Security

Same-origin enforcement on public POST endpoints

Lead capture, review-copy, and service-inquiry endpoints now reject cross-origin POSTs in addition to existing rate limiting.

Shipped

Trust & security page

Public sub-processor list, authentication model, incident-response process, and student-data forward-looking statement. Built so districts can do their IT review without a phone call.

Shipped

Virginia CTE alignment matrix

Per-unit mapping of Cybersecurity I to Virginia CTE 8602 competencies, EHE credential domains, and NICE Framework work roles. Signed alignment letters available on request.

Shipped

FAQ, comparison, and free-pack pages

/faq for K-12 buyer objections, /compare against the major alternatives, and /free-pack to gate the free preview pack behind a quick lead-capture form.

Shipped

Schema.org structured data + dynamic OG images

Organization, WebSite, Course, OfferCatalog, and FAQPage JSON-LD across the site. Per-module Open Graph images so module links unfurl with edition / minutes / difficulty.

Improved

Standards alignment matrix expanded to all 25 cyber units

Cyber I (10 units) and Cyber II (15 units) are now individually mapped to CSTA K-12 and NICE work roles, mirroring the AI Fluency matrix.

Fixed

Module count inflation

getAllModules() was loading flat .md files alongside their canonical folder versions, double-counting modules. Folder versions are now preferred and flat files are deduplicated by slug.

Fixed

/teach 404

Visiting /teach without a slug now redirects to the curriculum dashboard instead of returning a 404.
