Abstract

FERPA compliance for institutions and professionals in higher education is an important component of any institutional information security strategy. As campuses face an expanding threat environment, they are limited by aging technological infrastructure. Over the coming years, this infrastructure will require replacement, which presents an opportunity to increase FERPA compliance using technological solutions that build on new technology. Using a FERPA self-compliant cloud as a service, this paper proposes a novel approach to compliance and security which can be adapted for use in today’s environment while easily growing to incorporate coming technological change.
