WHITEPAPER - Higher Education and the GDPR: New Standards, New Risks - and New Opportunities
This white paper provides an overview of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) through the lens of the Higher Education vertical market, with particular focus on information management, workflow challenges, and opportunities.
Taking a Strategic Approach to Information
In the midst of the Digital Transformation, educators have to grapple with a new challenge: Data Governance. Having an information security policy is not enough. A strategic approach to systems integration, including multi-point access controls, is crucial to a successful technology adoption that can lead to sustainable business processes and enable flexible learning environments.
Proactively Managing the Print
Despite the increase of mobile devices, paper and printing remain a reality in higher education today. uniFLOW is designed to help colleges and universities reduce costs and ensure confidential information is kept secure by enabling IT administrators control over output management.
Enforcing Printing Rules
With uniFLOW, all print jobs over a predetermined size or complexity can be set to automatically output to a lower-cost-per-page device. This allows IT administrators to enforce cost-conscious and secure print behaviors through the campus.
Safeguarding Sensitive Device Data
Attackers can tap into a treasure trove of information, whether it is financial, personal, or intellectual. They can access and alter records for grades, research material, salaries, tuition statements, bank accounts, and other sensitive data-not only for current students, but for past students as well.*
Another area of potential vulnerability is device hard drives that may store confidential student health and financial information. Canon solutions can help educators safeguard student information and assist in their strategy to meet FERPA and HIPAA regulations

Encouraging secure and cost conscious printing practices
Security breaches can take a huge toll on an institution’s finances. Depending on the scale of the attack and the number of records affected, costs can vary. Yet the consequences of a security breach go far and beyond financial cost, as institutions have to deal with the aftermath of the attack.*
Canon Solutions
Universal Login Manager (ULM) and uniFLOW are just two Canon solutions that offer convenient user authentication and usage tracking functionality to help manage security and costs by controlling individual user’s access and usage.
