# Q3 2026 Feature Announcements

New platform improvements strengthen security, simplify compliance review, and make day-to-day advising work more reliable.

---

This post provides announcements of newly released features available in [Pathways by Advisor AI](https://joinadvisorai.com/core-capabilities), with links to additional resources.

> At Advisor AI, we measure progress by the value delivered to students and the professionals who support them. Our approach has been shaped by more than 100,000 hours of research, experimentation, and field learning.
> 
> Each platform release reflects lessons learned from real-world implementation projects, feedback from our growing community of higher education practitioners, and ongoing investments in student success research. We focus on supporting institutions with trusted AI infrastructure that enhances human expertise, strengthens student engagement, and creates more connected pathways from first interest to lifelong growth.

Before an institution signs on, its information security team has a questionnaire to complete and detailed questions about how student data is protected. They need answers in the format they already use, backed by evidence. This release delivered that, along with security and reliability improvements that students and advisors may never see but benefit from every day.

#### 1. Stronger Session Security and Data Access

Signing out now fully ends the session on the server, and staff-facing systems enforce stricter access rules on student records. These aren't new screens; they raise the [access and privacy standards](https://joinadvisorai.com/information-security) expected of a system that holds advising data.

#### 2. Security Policies, Compliance, and Vulnerability Management

An updated Higher Education Community Vendor Assessment Toolkit (HECVAT) response lets IT, procurement, and information security teams review Advisor AI against the questionnaire institutions already use. Putting answers in the format higher education expects, alongside [policy and vulnerability evidence](https://app.vanta.com/joinadvisorai.com/trust/77m8qtqgmb8veiyv1uptmn), shortens security review for new and renewing institutions. Automated code scanning was added to the development pipeline, and certain functions were hardened against injection techniques.

#### 3. Student Management Improvements

Day-to-day advising actions, including saving notes, updating milestones, and managing and viewing student records and analytics, are more reliable and responsive. Small improvements across the board make routine work smoother.
