Focal Point helps educational institutions improve IT capabilities, manage risk, and protect students’ personal information. We understand the complex and unique risks faced by colleges, universities, and school districts, and we have built data security, privacy, identity and access management, and internal audit programs for some of largest and most prominent learning institutions in North America.
Student data is spread across more systems than ever before. Focal Point can help educational organizations build privacy programs to govern the collection, management, and storage of this data.
Teachers, students, administrative staff, alumni, and vendors all need special access to different systems and tools. Our IAM services help you secure and manage this access across your organization.
Many educational institutions rely heavily on a system of vendors to support key functions. Focal Point can help you evaluate your vendors' risk management programs to better protect your business.
Educational organizations are moving more traditional, outdated processes to new technologies, but this can come with significant growing pains. Focal Point can help you manage a seamless integration.
With more technology in play, educational institutions need to establish new measures to manage IT risk. Focal Point can help you identify and prioritize IT risk and develop a plan to address it.
