Education

In the evolving landscape of the education sector, safeguarding sensitive student and institutional data is paramount. Educational institutions are increasingly becoming targets for cyber threats due to the vast amount of sensitive information they handle. As custodians of student records, financial data, and proprietary research, educational organizations must fortify their cybersecurity measures to protect against data breaches, ransomware attacks, and other malicious activities.

Our Proven Expertise

Our team of cybersecurity consulting experts brings decades of experience and in-depth knowledge to address the intricate cybersecurity needs of educational institutions. We understand the specific regulatory requirements, such as the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), Payment Card Industry (PCI), and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and tailor our services to ensure compliance while improving your organization’s cybersecurity program.

Comprehensive Cybersecurity Services

We offer a comprehensive suite of cybersecurity services designed to fortify educational institutions (schools, districts, colleges, and universities) against evolving cyber threats:

  1. FERPA Risk Assessment and Gap Assessments: Tanner Security Consultants can help by conducting thorough risk assessments to identify vulnerabilities and implementing strategic risk management plans.
  2. Penetration Testing: Testing the effectiveness of IT controls from a hacker’s perspective.
  3. Security Awareness Training: Empowering your staff and students with the knowledge and skills to recognize and respond to potential cybersecurity threats.
  4. Vendor Risk Management: Evaluating and managing the cybersecurity risks associated with third-party vendors to ensure the entire educational ecosystem remains secure.
  5. Policy Development: Implementing a well-structured information security program requires adopting policies and procedures that meet FERPA requirements.

Our approach to cybersecurity consulting is not one-size-fits-all. We recognize that each educational institution has unique challenges and requirements. Our FERPA consultants will work closely with your team to create customized cybersecurity solutions that align with your organization’s goals, operational workflows, and compliance mandates.

We were fortunate to have collaborated with Tanner IT Security Consultants. From the outset, John’s team exhibited a remarkable depth of knowledge and a clear understanding of our specific requirements.
