Finding Details

Criteria or Specific Requirement: The Gramm-Leach Bliley Act (GLBA) requires financial institutions to explain their information-sharing practices to their customers and to safeguard sensitive data (16 CFR 314). The regulation states that the college must designate a qualified individual responsible for overseeing and implementing your information security program and enforcing your information security program. (16 CFR 314.4(a)). The entity shall have a Written Information Security Program (WISP) that outlines the design and implementation of the risk assessment procedures. (16 CFR 314.4(b)). At a minimum, the institution’s written information security program must address the implementation of the minimum safeguards identified in 16 CFR 314.4(c)(1) through (8) including: Assess apps developed by the institution. In addition, the written security program provides for the institution to regularly test or otherwise monitor the effectiveness of the safeguards it has implemented (16 CFR 314.4(d)). Condition: The college was missing all the requirements from the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act except for having a Written Information Security Program, approval by appropriate individual, implement and periodically review access controls, and proper disposal of customer information securely. These GLBA requirements were applicable beginning on June 9, 2023, and there were multiple elements missing from their Written Information Security Program. Context: The institution has been in compliance with previous iterations of GLBA compliance. The Written Information Security Program (WISP) which was required as of June 9, 2023 had missing elements. Some controls were in place whereas others were not. They did, however, have a WISP as of the deadline but it was missing some required information. Questioned Costs: N/A Cause: There was not a formal process in place to review against all the new GLBA requirements to ensure compliance.Effect: Student personal information could be vulnerable. Repeat Finding: No Recommendation: We recommend that the College review the updated GLBA requirements and ensure their Written Information Security Program (WISP) includes all required elements. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding and has developed a plan to correct the finding.

Criteria or Specific Requirement: Per Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200.303, nonfederal entities receiving federal awards are required to establish and maintain internal controls designed to reasonably ensure compliance with federal laws, regulations and program compliance requirements. Condition: The college did not have a formal review process, as the student financial aid director was both preparing and reviewing the calculation. Context: Out of the forty sampled calculations, all forty lacked evidence of a formal review. Questioned Costs: N/A Cause: Lack of formal review of last date of attendance for online students including Canvas activity logs.

Repeat Finding: No Recommendation: We recommend someone other than the preparer of Return of Title IV calculations review said calculations. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding and has developed a plan to correct the finding.
