Education

Venminder is trusted by 1,200+ organizations to help
manage, assess, and mitigate vendor risks.

Managing third-party risks is essential to protect student data.

 

Giving students the best education possible, whether in K-12 or higher education, is the primary focus for schools and universities. That includes using various third-party vendors to provide quality education technologies, IT services, and admissions processes.

FERPA mandates that student and faculty information must be protected, especially when it’s in the hands of a third party. One data breach, unexpected third-party shutdown, or regulatory fine can disrupt learning, ruin reputations, and cause damaging financial losses for schools and colleges. That’s why it’s important to manage third-party risks before there’s a problem.
