Update Education Workflows to Ensure Student Data Privacy Is Met

Advances in technology have begun to transform education, allowing educators to implement distance learning initiatives that extend the reach of their curriculum beyond the physical classroom. Digital tools allow teachers to tailor learning to students’ personal needs, improve parent communications, and boost internal productivity and efficiency.

While these trends bring significant opportunities for student learning and development, they also carry significant risks. Cloud environments that support eLearning initiatives and digital communications leave sensitive data at risk of exposure, raising concerns regarding privacy and compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Federal Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) a primary concern.
