The Challenge

Educational institutions must protect sensitive student data at scale

Handling Student Data Access Requests

Students and applicants have the right to request access to their personal data. Processing these requests manually can be time-consuming and complex.

Managing Data Deletion and Anonymization

Institutions must comply with “right to be forgotten” requests, ensuring that personal data is fully deleted or anonymized across all systems.

Storing Sensitive Personal Information

Applications, academic records, and communications are sensitive data that need to be managed properly. Ensuring this data is handled securely is critical.

Ensuring Compliance Across Departments

Admissions, support, and administrative teams all interact with student data. Maintaining consistent GDPR processes across departments is a major challenge.
