Re: Info Sec at Small Colleges

["Barton, Robert W." <bartonrt () LEWISU EDU>]

The first thing that shows a need are those regulatory/compulsory items you listed; FERPA, HIPAA, PCI, and the like.  
Many of those require training, documentation, and information security intelligence.

Second item, privacy.  Good information security is the enabler of good privacy.  You can't say you have a privacy 
policy if you don't have the other...you can't actually confirm, or maintain privacy.

Lastly, if you don't have a CISO/Security person, who is keeping their eye on security?  Everybody has a job to do 
(CIO, Network Director, etc.), but nobody but an information security professional has the focus of security.

Some articles on it...

Subject: [SECURITY] Info Sec at Small Colleges

I apologize if this is a double email for anyone.  I sent this question the small college group, but then thought, it 
might get more traction/attention here.

Before my question, a brief background on my school.  We are a small Catholic liberal arts university with an 
enrollment of approximately 1,300 students.

We attended a webinar today on GDPR which led to a larger discussion regarding information security.  My question to 
the group is, how do the smaller colleges justify the expenditures required for a decent info sec program to your 
administration given the size of our institutions.  Also, would anyone be willing to hop on a call to discuss info sec 
programs at small colleges and what you are doing to stay compliant with the various regulatory requirements - PCI, 
HIPAA, GLBA, Red Flag, FERPA, and potentially, GDPR.

Many thanks in advance!

Chris
