Safe schools and safe students with GAT Labs’ COPPA, FERPA, and SOC 2 Compliance
Dublin, Ireland. August 7, 2024 — GAT Labs is proud to announce that its comprehensive security solutions are now COPPA and FERPA-compliant, certified by iKeepSafe, and also meet the rigorous standards for SOC 2 compliance. These certifications underscore GAT Labs’ commitment to protecting sensitive educational data. They provide assurance to school district IT leaders and administrators that they can trust GAT Labs with their most sensitive information.
As educational institutions increasingly rely on technology, they face stringent regulations under FERPA, COPPA, state laws, and local policies. Navigating these regulations can be challenging, but it is crucial for ensuring the safety and privacy of student data. GAT Labs’ certifications demonstrate its ability to provide robust solutions that help educational institutions maintain compliance and protect their digital environments.
