Top 10 GLBA Pitfalls That Could Cost You Title IV Funding
Date: Wednesday, November 12, 2025 at 11am PT / 2pm ET
Don’t wait to become the cautionary tale! When the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) Safeguards Rule officially went into effect, compliance became mandatory for all Title IV institutions. History shows that penalties are inevitable—and the consequences could be existential, including the loss of Title IV eligibility.
This session, led by veteran CISO and executive cybersecurity consultant Stephen Heath, will cut through the legal and technical jargon to highlight the Top 10 GLBA pitfalls institutions are struggling with today. From missing risk assessments and outdated policies to unsecured vendors and weak access controls, you’ll gain a clear, practical understanding of the compliance gaps that put Title IV funding at risk.
You will walk away with:
- A clear understanding of GLBA’s Safeguards Rule and its impact on higher education.
- Real-world examples of common compliance failures.
- Actionable steps to strengthen your security posture before your next audit.
- A GLBA Readiness Checklist to benchmark your institution’s program.
GLBA enforcement may still be in its early stages, but someone will eventually become the cautionary tale. This session will help you ensure it's not you.
