    Why Choose Bright Defense for FERPA? 

    You Want to Avoid Legal Risk and Potential Loss of Funding

    You Find Handling FERPA in modern technology environments Hard

    You Struggle to Manage Third-Party Vendors and Contracts

    You Need Dependable, Repeatable Compliance Processes

    FERPA violations can bring serious consequences such as loss of federal funding, investigations, legal challenges, or reputational harm. WriteDefense guides organizations through each regulation. We assess your current processes, point out immediate concerns, and help you meet every requirement with precision.

    Online systems like LMS platforms, recorded classes, and data sharing raise complex privacy and access issues. WriteDefense reviews your tech setup. We help you apply proper access rules, secure your systems, train staff, and protect electronic data with strong settings, encryption, and record policies.

    When outside services handle student data, FERPA still applies. Institutions must make sure contracts limit data use and include strong privacy safeguards. WriteDefense supports you in reviewing vendor contracts, enforcing strict rules, and applying the "school official" exception correctly so data stays safe.

    FERPA compliance is not a one-time task. You must handle annual notifications, requests for record access or amendments, and track responses within mandated timelines. WriteDefense sets up clear workflows and trains your team to follow them with consistency. We help with annual rights notices, record requests, handling amendments, and logging everything in case audits happen.
