// What to watch
- No trust center found on the vendor's own domain (brilliant.org). The domain brilliantmade.com / brilliant.tech belongs to a different, unrelated company (Brilliant Home Technology / Brilliant NextGen, a smart-home hardware maker in San Mateo); its trust center and security documentation do NOT apply to brilliant.org and were removed from this assessment
- Encryption/MFA/password-hashing details are not published on brilliant.org's own domain; the previously cited facts came from the unrelated smart-home company and have been stripped
- No evidence of enterprise-grade certifications (SOC 2, ISO 27001) found in public documentation
- Company is growth-stage EdTech, not traditional enterprise SaaS; certification posture reflects educational market norms, not fintech/healthcare standards
- Brilliant.org is primarily an educational platform, not an AI tool in the traditional AIFOXX sense (not an LLM API, image generator, or generative AI service)
- Data residency not publicly documented; GDPR compliance implied but specific regions not stated
- AI training policy is favorable (no third-party training) but unclear whether this applies to free vs. paid tiers or to educator programs
