From elementary to post-secondary institutions, students and their parents expect schools to effectively and efficiently protect their personal information. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a Federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. Any educational institution receiving public funds must adhere to the U.S. Department of Education’s FERPA mandates to develop adequate policies and procedures to protect information from improper release and breach.  Praetorian Secure understands school districts and colleges use or collect personally identifiable information (PII) for a variety of educational purposes, and ensures confidentiality and availability are only available to those with applicable access rights through the following services:

• Security Policy & FERPA/PII Compliance Programs

• User Account Management

• Virus Protection

• System Monitoring & Mitigation

• Security Testing, Vulnerability Audits & Maintenance

• Software Patch Programs

• Disaster Recovery & Contingency Planning

An effective educational approach to IT security and compliance is to rely upon a comprehensive risk assessment and then fund as many protective measures as can be implemented.  In addition to taking protective measures for both internal and external educational networks, training is recommended by Praetorian Secure for all personnel who have access to systems, equipment and data storage. As a veteran owned company, Praetorian Secure is a certified Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB).
