Why Your Business Needs Us

Protection of Intellectual Property and Research Data

Educational institutions and research organizations manage valuable intellectual property, research findings, and proprietary data. Cyber attacks targeting these assets could lead to data theft and damage to an institution’s reputation. Compliance with frameworks like NIST, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 is essential to protect sensitive information.

Safeguarding

Colleges and universities store a vast amount of personally identifiable information (PII), including student records, financial information, and health data. Without strong data protection measures, institutions risk violating FERPA, PIPEDA, and GDPR regulations for student and faculty privacy.

Compliance with Regulatory Standards and Data Privacy Laws

Institutions must comply with regulations such as FERPA, GDPR, SOC 2, PIPEDA, and frameworks like NIST and ISO 27001 to protect personal and academic data. Non-compliance can result in legal consequences, fines, and loss of public trust.

Increasing Threats from Cyber Attacks and Insider Risks

Educational institutions face threats from phishing attacks, ransomware, insider risks, and unauthorized access to research data. Proactive threat detection, continuous monitoring, and robust access controls are critical to defending against these threats.

Key Questions to Ask Yourself

Are your institution’s intellectual property and research findings adequately protected against cyber threats and unauthorized access?

Does your organization comply with data privacy regulations like FERPA, GDPR, PIPEDA, and security standards like NIST, ISO 27001, and SOC 2?

Can you continuously monitor your environment to detect threats, policy violations, and suspicious activities in real time?

Are you confident in your ability to safeguard student records, academic data, and institutional assets?

Would your institution benefit from tailored cybersecurity solutions to protect data, enhance compliance, and secure critical systems?
