Learn how universities can reduce FERPA risk by improving visibility into student records, strengthening access controls, and limiting oversharing across collaboration tools and endpoints.

FERPA compliance is no longer just a policy issue. In modern higher education environments, student records are distributed across collaboration platforms, cloud storage, email, and endpoints, making it harder to control access and prevent unauthorized disclosure.

Explore where FERPA compliance breaks down in university IT environments and what institutions can do to strengthen protection through accurate data discovery, context-aware classification, and dynamic access controls.

What you’ll learn:

• What FERPA requires from colleges and universities
• Why unstructured data sprawl makes student records harder to secure
• How inherited permissions in SharePoint and Teams can weaken security
• Why role-based access is not enough for FERPA compliance
• What FERPA-aligned controls should look like in a modern university environment
