ILIAS is commonly used for assessments and learning content in regulated institutions. Harden authentication, test/exam workflows, and plugin/module control.
¶ 1) Harden identity and exam-critical roles
- Enforce MFA through SSO for administrators and exam managers.
- Separate roles for content authoring, exam administration, and system ops.
- Restrict who can alter test pools and grading schemes.
- Rotate API and integration credentials used by external systems.
¶ 2) Secure assessment and content handling
- Restrict question-bank export/import permissions.
- Enforce upload type limits for assignments and learning objects.
- Review anonymous/public course settings.
- Audit gradebook changes and late policy modifications.
¶ 3) Patch and operational controls
- Apply ILIAS and PHP/DB updates on fixed cadence.
- Keep database and file storage private.
- Encrypt backups that include grades and user profiles.
- Monitor authentication and admin activity logs.
