Build Business-Aligned Privacy Programs for Higher Education Institutions

Embed privacy by design into your business processes and protect high-risk personal data.

Book This Workshop

Higher education institutions are under increased pressure to ensure personal data protection for students and faculty in the new digital era, especially to protect sensitive information.

  • Privacy teams are struggling to obtain sufficient resources and budget.
  • Privacy policies often ineffectively convey how institutions use data, which creates confusion.
  • It takes a long time to make changes and implement new policies and procedures.

Create a clear path toward privacy by taking a quantitative, risk-based approach.

  • Use a phase-based, cumulative approach to gradually build a data privacy program.
  • Complete a set of targeted deliverables that will help you understand and govern the lifecycle of the data in your organization.
  • Establish metrics and an implementation plan to operationalize your data privacy program.
