Hi Chris,

There was a really good EDUCAUSE Review article last month on Cybersecurity at Small and Midsized schools.

Please let me know if you have any questions, thank you.

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
