Solutions for Educational Institutions
In educational environments, the security of student information, research data, and proprietary information is paramount. Schools and universities handle sensitive data that must be protected according to strict regulatory standards like FERPA, as well as their own institutional policies. DataLocker’s solutions provide the encryption, management, and security controls that educational institutions need to protect data and ensure compliance, whether they are storing, sharing, or collaborating on sensitive information.
Educational Use Cases
Securing Student Information to Meet FERPA Compliance
- Challenge: Schools and universities are required to protect student information under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). However, with data distributed across various devices and locations, ensuring compliance and secure access is challenging.
- Solution: DataLocker encrypted USB drives provide secure, hardware-based encryption for storing and transferring student records. SafeConsole’s centralized management allows administrators to control, audit, and lock down devices remotely, ensuring that data is protected and accessible only to authorized personnel.
- Result: Educational institutions can confidently store and transfer student data, meeting FERPA standards and protecting personal information. With DataLocker’s secure solutions, institutions enhance data protection and avoid costly compliance violations.
Storing and Collaborating on Sensitive Research Data
- Challenge: University researchers often handle sensitive or proprietary research data that must remain confidential and protected from unauthorized access. Collaborative projects involving external partners require a secure method of data sharing and storage.
- Solution: DataLocker encrypted hard drives offer secure storage for research data, with AES 256-bit encryption to protect sensitive information. SafeConsole’s remote management capabilities allow universities to control and monitor access, enforce security policies, and securely share research data with authorized collaborators.
- Result: Universities can securely store and manage sensitive research data, ensuring compliance with internal policies and funding requirements. DataLocker solutions provide the security needed to support collaborative research while protecting intellectual property and maintaining data integrity.
Protecting Faculty and Administrative Data in Remote Work Environments
- Challenge: With the rise of remote and hybrid work in education, faculty and administrative staff often access sensitive information from various locations. This increased flexibility, however, brings additional security risks for institutional data.
- Solution: DataLocker encrypted USB drives allow faculty and staff to securely store and access institutional data from any location. SafeConsole enables administrators to enforce password policies, lock devices remotely, and audit device usage, minimizing the risk of data breaches in remote environments.
- Result: Educational institutions gain secure and manageable solutions for data access in remote work environments, ensuring that faculty and administrative staff can work productively while protecting institutional data from unauthorized access.
Secure Distribution of Exam Materials and Confidential Documents
- Challenge: Exams and other confidential documents must be securely distributed to prevent unauthorized access, leakage, or tampering. Traditional methods of sharing physical copies or unsecured digital files expose institutions to data theft or unauthorized sharing.
- Solution: DataLocker encrypted USB drives provide a secure method for distributing exam materials and confidential documents. SafeConsole allows administrators to control device access, set expiration dates for document availability, and enforce read-only modes to prevent unauthorized changes.
- Result: Schools and universities can distribute exams and other confidential materials securely, ensuring that sensitive information is only accessed by authorized individuals. This solution protects academic integrity and prevents data breaches, reinforcing institutional trust.
