| A game changer for academic institutions
Universities face unique challenges due to their complex structures, which include diverse units (e.g., Administration, Education, Research, and Medical Centers), each with distinct functions and cyber risk appetites.
These units often operate with competing priorities and varying requirements, such as protecting personally identifiable information, complying with FERPA in education, adhering to HIPAA in medical centers, and managing specific data use agreements in research.
The NIST CSF can be a game changer for organizations looking for more efficient ways to manage their compliance requirements. Leveraging the outcomes in the Core to define risk-based targets informed by the Tiers into a Profile has been the key for many organizations to streamline requirements and validate expectations.
Our team has guided universities in enhancing their cybersecurity by closely tracking and clearly communicating their challenges and improvements. By sharing successes as well as areas for improvement, we've facilitated better use of resources and bolstered the overall security of these institutions.
