Higher Education

Higher Education had 7.6 Million records breached in 2017 alone. While the number seems significant at first glance, the number of data breaches have been going down in Higher Ed over the last few years. This is in part due to the adoption of new cyber security controls by colleges and universities. Our team is a proud contributor to the NIST Cyber Security Framework. We work with colleges and universities throughout the United States to meet cyber security challenges. As control requirements increase for FERPA, FACTA, PCI and HIPAA, we are here to help you meet those requirements. No challenge is too big or too small to engage us for assistance. We want to be your long term cyber security partner.
