Home Video solution Panopto Capabilities Security
Control who can see what
Access to folders and individual videos can be set by role, group or individual, so a recording is only visible to the people it's meant for. Permissions can be adjusted at any level of the library without having to rebuild the whole structure.
Video content needs the same security as everything else you manage
Recordings often contain things you wouldn't want to end up in the wrong place: internal meetings, student data, unreleased material. Panopto is built to be managed with the same level of control as any other business-critical system, not treated as a side project.
Viducon is the official Panopto partner in Denmark. We handle implementation, support and workshops in Danish for your organisation, from the first demo through to daily use.
One login, not another password to manage
Panopto supports single sign-on through SAML, so people log in with the same account they already use for everything else. That means IT isn't maintaining a separate set of credentials just for video, and access can be revoked centrally the moment someone leaves.
Data protected in transit and at rest
Video is encrypted both while it's being uploaded or streamed and while it's sitting in storage. That's the same baseline expectation as any other system handling sensitive material, applied consistently rather than as an afterthought.
Ready for the questions an audit will ask
When someone needs to confirm who had access to a recording, or when a change was made, that information is there to pull rather than something you have to reconstruct after the fact.
See the proof, not just our word for it
Panopto's approach to security is not just something we say, it is documented, checked by outside auditors and open for you to look at. The Trust Center has the certifications, compliance paperwork and details on how your data is protected.

Frequently Asked Questions about security in Panopto
Is Panopto SOC 2 Type II compliant?
Yes, Panopto has a SOC 2 Type II attestation, checked every year by an independent auditor against the Security and Availability principles. On top of that, the platform goes through vulnerability scans every quarter and a full penetration test once a year. The complete SOC 2 report can be requested under NDA, while a shorter SOC 3 summary is open to anyone.
How does Panopto control who can access video content?
Access is based on a person's role, so students, staff, administrators and outside viewers each only see what they are meant to. Rather than setting permissions on individual videos, they are managed at group and folder level, which keeps a large library manageable. When someone joins or leaves, their access is added or removed automatically as part of your existing identity setup.
Does Panopto support single sign-on?
Yes, single sign-on works through any SAML-based identity provider, so people log in to video content the same way they log in to everything else in the organisation. Multi-factor authentication is handled by that same identity provider, keeping login rules consistent across every system rather than just Panopto.
How is video content protected in Panopto?
Content stays encrypted whether it is sitting in storage, using AES-256, or moving between systems, where TLS takes over instead. Panopto's cloud setup runs on AWS, and for organisations that need to keep their data in a specific location, an on-premises option is also available.
What compliance standards does Panopto support?
Panopto is built to help meet a wide range of requirements, among them GDPR, FERPA, Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 AA, and the platform takes part in the EU-US, UK and Swiss frameworks for data privacy. It is also SOC 2 Type II compliant and holds several ISO certifications, along with TX-RAMP Level 2. Built-in audit logs and reporting give IT and compliance teams what they need without having to compile it by hand, and a VPAT document can be requested.
Can Panopto provide audit documentation for compliance reviews?
Yes, Panopto keeps logs of every access, along with viewing data and completion records that can be exported whenever a compliance team needs them for a regulatory review. Because reporting is a built-in part of the platform, this information is ready on demand rather than something that has to be gathered together by hand.
