As a result of the breadth and nature of business operations at higher education institutions, as well as faculty, staff, students and alumni located in many states and countries, institutions are subject to a variety of legal and regulatory compliance requirements for data protection. It is critical for internal audit and compliance professionals to understand where high-risk data resides at the institution, how to address multiple compliance requirements, and ultimately, how to protect the institution’s data.
