Imagine you are an Information Security consultant for a small
college registrar’s office consisting of the registrar and two (2)
assistant registrars, two (2) student workers, and one (1)
receptionist. The office is physically located near several other
office spaces. The assistant registrars utilize mobile devices over
a wireless network to access student records, with the electronic
student records being stored on a server located in the building.
Additionally, each registrar’s office has a desktop computer that
utilizes a wired network to access the server and electronic
student records. The receptionist station has a desktop computer
that is used to schedule appointments, but cannot access student
records. In 1974, Congress enacted the Family Educational
Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) to help protect the integrity of
student records. The college has hired you to ensure technical
safeguards are appropriately designed to preserve the integrity
of the student records maintained in the registrar’s office.Write a
three to five (3-5) page paper in which you:

Analyze proper physical access control safeguards and provide
sound recommendations to be employed in the registrar’s office.

Recommend the proper audit controls to be employed in the
registrar’s office.
