Security Risk Assessments

Protect your student and research data

Let's Talk

Protection of sensitive data, regulatory requirements like the Gramm-Leach-Bliley (GLBA) and Federal Education Rights and Privacy (FERPA) Acts, and rising cyber-insurance costs top the list of security-focused priorities for higher education IT. But assessing and addressing security posture starts with expertise many campus IT teams don’t have. 

Assess and address security risk

For nearly 25 years, Apogee has exclusively served the needs of college and university IT teams. Our unique understanding of campus business process and technologies, combined with deep security experience and expertise, help quickly identify risks and vulnerabilities and the actionable steps to overcome them. 

Our experts collaborate with your team to assess security requirements specific to your IT environment, your existing cybersecurity policies, and procedures. Paired with a systems scan, our experts develop National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)-based policies tailored to your institution, addressing regulatory requirements like GLBA and FERPA. 

As a managed service, Apogee conducts assessments and scans on recurring basis. Highlighting emerging vulnerabilities and developing action plans to address them ensures your most sensitive data stays protected as your campus technology needs evolve and grow.
