Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) Compliance Services
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) establishes federal standards for protecting the privacy and integrity of student education records. It grants students and parents specific rights regarding access, amendment, and control over personal educational information, while mandating that institutions safeguard data against unauthorized disclosure.
At Shieldbyte Infosec, we provide comprehensive FERPA compliance consulting, implementation, and audit services to help educational institutions strengthen their data protection frameworks and meet regulatory expectations with confidence. Our methodology ensures lawful collection, secure storage, and responsible sharing of education records through structured policies, access control, and governance mechanisms.
Our team of certified privacy and compliance specialists follows a structured, risk-based approach – from gap assessments and policy documentation to access audits, breach response planning, and employee awareness programs – ensuring that every data handling process aligns with FERPA requirements.
