Educational Organizations

Protecting student education records is a top priority. With the emergence of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), schools must have written consent from parents before sharing this information with unauthorized parties. The loss of student data, whether intentional or not, can be costly in the form of lawsuits, fines, and decline in enrollment.

PacketSure™ can discover student records and other sensitive information on school computer assets, monitor data in motion, and block unauthorized data from leaving the network.

This includes:

  • First Name, Middle Initial, Last Name with either:
    • Social Security Numbers,
    • Date of Birth,
    • Identification Number or
    • other identifiable data.

Palisade Systems understands the importance of an affordable solution to assist in the visibility and control of the movement of sensitive data. PacketSure™ provides an additional web filtering module to assist schools in adhering to the Child's Internet Protection Act (CIPA). Preventing students and staff from accessing inappropriate websites can be accomplished through the use of 40 pre-defined categories.
 
Within minutes of being installed, PacketSure™ will identify student data leaving through any communication channel with the built-in policies. The dynamic, forensic-style reports identify the sensitive data, sender, recipient, and connection details so organizations can take action. Organizations can block, quarantine, or re-route emails to encryption to prevent the loss of sensitive data.
