GLBA Compliance
In 1999 Congress enacted the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA). This act created a framework for the protection and regulation of privacy and data security for financial institutions. In December of 2021 the GBLA was revised to apply to higher education institutions that maintain consumer information on more than 5,000 “customers.”
As of December 9th, 2022, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) requires higher education institutions like Regis to notify their customers (students) how non-public information is shared and protected.
Regis University has in place security safeguards that meet all requirements of GLBA compliance under Federal Trade Commission 16 CFR Part 314.4(c) (Safeguards.)
eCFR :: 16 CFR Part 314 -- Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information
These safeguards include:
- Having in place a written information security program (WISP).
- Having a written incident response plan in place.
- Technical and physical access controls.
- Inventory of data, personnel, devices, systems, and facilities.
- Encryption of all customer information in transit and at rest.
- Requiring multi-factor authentication for accessing any system housing consumer information.
- Having processes in place for the secure destruction of data and the periodic review of data retention policies.
- Having processes in place for change management.
- Having a system in place for the logging and monitoring activities of authorized individuals and detecting unauthorized access or compromised accounts, devices, or systems.
- Conducting continuous vulnerability assessments.
- Requiring quarterly information security awareness training of all Regis employees.
- Reviewing vendor relationships to assure they have similar controls in place and putting any potential new relationships through a robust cyber security vetting process before contractually committing to such relationship.
In addition to these safeguards, Regis University has addressed all other aspects of GLBA compliance.
