Every discipline,
one browser-based platform.

Q: Is unignosis mapped to the UK QAA Computing Subject Benchmark?

Yes. unignosis is the only browser-based academic lab platform mapped to the UK QAA Computing Subject Benchmark. Each lab is tagged to specific learning outcomes, making accreditation evidence straightforward.

Q: Can unignosis be deployed on-premise?

Yes. unignosis can be deployed on a university's own infrastructure or as a managed service. The platform is containerised and self-hostable, with optional managed support.

unignosis spans seven core domains, each delivered as isolated, hands-on labs that run entirely inside the student's browser. Real tools, real environments, real outcomes — assessment-ready and QAA-mapped.

For procurement & IT

The questions universities ask first.

The honest answers about integration, isolation, cost, compliance and deployment.

Do we need Moodle, Canvas or another LMS to use unignosis?

No. unignosis is a complete teaching platform — course management, enrolment, assignments, assessment, live scoreboard and lecturer analytics are all built in. There is nothing else to deploy or license alongside it. Universities run unignosis as a standalone system; there is no Moodle, Canvas or Blackboard dependency.

Is unignosis mapped to the UK QAA Computing Subject Benchmark?

Yes — and we are the only browser-based academic lab platform that is. Each lab is tagged to specific QAA learning outcomes, making accreditation evidence straightforward for course directors and QAA panels. The mapping is also useful for ACE-CSE and Tech First applications.

How are students isolated from each other?

Every student receives a private, containerised environment with its own network namespace and OpenVPN tunnel. Cross-contamination is impossible — students cannot reach each other's labs unless explicitly placed into a shared team workspace by a lecturer. The isolation model has been tested at cohort scales of 500+ concurrent students.

What does unignosis cost compared to commercial cyber-range platforms?

unignosis is institution-licensed, typically 10 to 100 times lower than per-seat commercial platforms such as Hack The Box for Business or Immersive Labs. Pricing is per-cohort or per-institution, not per-student. We will quote against your specific student numbers and the disciplines you need.

Does unignosis support SSO and Shibboleth?

Yes. SAML 2.0, OIDC and Shibboleth federated authentication are supported, allowing seamless single-sign-on with your university identity provider. JISC Federation is supported out of the box.

Is unignosis GDPR compliant? Where is student data stored?

Yes. unignosis is GDPR-compliant and operates under a UK-based data controller. Student data is held within the UK or EU at the customer's choice, is never used for training third-party models, and is deleted on request or at end-of-cohort per your institution's retention policy.

Can unignosis be deployed on-premise?

Yes. unignosis is fully containerised and can be deployed on a university's own infrastructure (on-prem or private cloud) or consumed as a managed service. Most institutions start with the managed service for the pilot, then evaluate on-prem for production.

What support and SLA do we get?

Standard institutional licences include 24×5 support during UK working hours with a 4-hour response SLA, plus 24×7 critical-incident response. Premium support and dedicated technical account management are available for larger deployments.
