- Differences between the mobile and desktop service
-
Unlike browser support, which is tied to specific vendors, mobile device support focuses on how Totara Learn performs across mobile platforms in general.
Totara Learn includes a range of mobile‑specific features, and the product is designed to work effectively on both desktop and mobile devices. Core elements such as navigation, expandable sections and user actions function smoothly with traditional and touch‑based controls. Responsive themes are also available, automatically adjusting layouts for smaller screens to ensure an optimal user experience. - Service interface

- WCAG 2.2 AA
- API
- Yes
- What users can and can't do using the API
-
Totara offers a flexible and extensible integration ecosystem that supports a wide range of connection methods beyond traditional plugins. Integration capability is shaped by two main factors:
1. Totara’s API offerings: Including its external GraphQL API, REST endpoints and webhook functionality, which together provide structured access to Totara data and allow external systems to receive real‑time event notifications.
2. Workato’s integration platform: Provides pre‑built connectors to many third‑party applications, as well as tools for creating custom connectors where no existing integration is available.
Totara’s external GraphQL API enables organisations to query and update data efficiently, while webhooks allow external systems to react to events such as enrolments, completions or user updates. These capabilities can be used to support both Workato‑based integrations and native, direct integrations with other systems.
Workato offers thousands of pre‑built app connectors, and where a connector does not already exist, its low‑code tools make it straightforward to build one tailored to specific requirements. - API documentation

- Description of customisation
-
Customers can customise their site's appearance to reflect the needs of their organisation by editing the theme, adding blocks, and customising the front page. When users log in to your site they will see either a dashboard or the front page, depending on the setup of your site. The front page is the default landing page for all users logged into your site, whereas dashboards can be tailored and restricted to only a particular audience. In addition to the different sections of your site, you can customise features such as the navigation bar and site administration menu, making it easier for your users to find what's important to them.
When your requirements go beyond Totara's standard features, our team can take Totara to the next level with bespoke enhancements tailored to your organisation. Our expert solution architects work with you to define requirements, design the approach, and produce a clear statement of work. Once approved, we get to work delivering custom functionality that fits your platform, your users, and your goals.
Scaling
- Independence of resources
- Titus uses AWS Elastic File Service, which automatically scales horizontally by adding unlimited storage in 10GB increments as required and vertically by scaling or bursting the network throughput as the amount of data to be transferred increases. Amazon EC2 uses Xen virtualisation for all server instances.
Analytics
- Service usage metrics
- Yes
- Metrics types
- Totara’s analytics functionality provides configurable dashboards and reports that allow organisations to track learner engagement, course completion, compliance status, and performance data across the platform. Using built-in reporting tools, administrators can pull detailed insights on users, teams, courses, programs, and competencies, helping inform decision-making and demonstrate impact. Access to analytics and reporting is controlled through role-based permissions, meaning only users with the appropriate system or site-level roles (such as administrators, managers, or custom reporting roles) can create, view, or export reports, ensuring data security and governance are maintained.

Data importing and exporting
- Data export approach
-
You can create and manage different export types to decide which contain a list of data items that will be exported when a user requests an export of their own data, and an export task is run to produce a file containing this data.
Users will only be able to export their own data and not that of others. When creating an export type, the export type must be configured to make the type available for use. - Data export formats

Availability and resilience
- Guaranteed availability
-
Guaranteed availability: 99.9% annually with 99.99% also available at additional cost.
We do not provide service credits where availability is less than this, but clients are entitled to terminate due to breach of contract in that event. - Approach to resilience
-
The AWS architecture is designed to be disaster resistant by using a Multi-Availability Zone (AZ) setup, so that in the event of a disaster in one AZ, the system would still function.
Database read replicas will be implemented to provide backup copies of the database in the event of the master failing, and AWS Snapshot Manager will be used to take snapshots of the web server and database automatically and to retain a certain number of agreed snapshots e.g. last 7 days. The backups facilitate disaster recovery in the unlikely event that all servers are compromised by recovering from server and database snapshots. - Outage reporting
-
AWS Cloudwatch logging is implemented to provide a monitoring dashboard and raise alerts based on specified metrics and thresholds allowing action to be taken before services are affected.
Different notification methods can be implemented including API, email or SMS alerts as well as dashboard displays, which ensure immediate attention by the Titus helpdesk/support team by which appropriate remedial action will be taken.

Titus has a named Director who acts as the chief security officer, and oversees our working relationships with Totara, Amazon Web Services, our suppliers and partners as well as our internal processes. We take information security seriously, and incorporate it into company policies and procedures which are regularly audited in line with ISO 27001 standards. - Software Security Code of Practice
- Yes
Operational security
- Configuration and change management standard
- Supplier-defined controls
- Configuration and change management approach
- Hardware and software versions are tracked in our server information database and regularly checked to ensure that supported versions are in use. Information is collected on the system to be changed, such as security components and network architecture, to gain a full picture of the current system. Threats that may result from the change are assessed for likelihood and impact, giving a visualisation of the severity of the threat. We create a change plan and communicate this to involved parties along with required actions such as server reboots. Post change, we analyse the process to identify areas for future improvement.
- Vulnerability management type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Vulnerability management approach
-
Potential threats are assessed on a number of criteria - the age of the vulnerability, importance of the target system, skills required to exploit the vulnerability, and potential damage caused by exploitation.
Patches are prioritised by severity - a patch deemed critical will be deployed without delay. Otherwise, patches are deployed to our servers on a monthly basis, with end-users informed in cases where downtime is required.
Our Network Vulnerability Tests come from the Greenbone Security Feed, and are used in vulnerability scanning to determine server vulnerability. We also examine software release notes and security vulnerability reports for potential vulnerabilities. - Protective monitoring type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Protective monitoring approach
-
Potential compromises are identified through monitoring services (EG: Cloudwatch, New Relic, SIEM software) and investigated by our tech team.
Potential compromises are assessed for impact and likelihood and prioritised accordingly. They are then assigned to our technical operations team for investigation and remediation.
We aim to respond to such incidents within an hour and resolve the incident within 24 hours. - Incident management type
- Supplier-defined controls
- Incident management approach
-
Common events (e.g. loss of connection to server, disk space shortage) have pre-defined processes the tech team follows to resolve them.
There are a number of channels for users to report incidents, including email, web portal and telephone.
Incidents are reported on in daily team briefings, retrospectively to end-users in root-cause analysis reports, and users are proactively warned of future downtime or security issues through email notifications.
Depending on the severity of the incident, it will be resolved within a set period of time, with automated monitoring systems alerting staff to incidents that are approaching their resolution target. - Post-quantum cryptography secure
