Question in which I am hoping for some advice from those with expertise?
Where is a good place to find out what we as a small private liberal
arts college are required to keep/have as far as legal issues are
concerned with some of the following things?

1.       How detailed and how long do we need to keep firewall logs?
Currently we are logging denies and NAT timeouts.  What are we required
to keep, and what would be good to have in case we get file sharing
notice( Since in the year and a half I have been here we have kept
things locked down tight enough that students haven't been able to file
share, but there is strong pressure to open things up more.)

2.       What other things should we be auditing and how extensively?

3.       What are the other questions I should be asking be don't even
know what to ask about?
