Student Information. Why you need to worry about it.

Student Information systems contain significant amounts of data that must be safeguarded under FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) and HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.) These laws require that school districts adopt administrative and technical safeguards over electronic data, including physical and intrusion securities.

Go.edu has partnered with Opsource, the leading provider of web application delivery, to provide one of the safest data environments in the industry. How do
we know it’s safe? Opsource’s application delivery solutions are audited in accordance with Statement of Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 70. This standard was developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and represents that a service organization has been through an in-depth audit of their control activities.
