(16 CFR 314) The Federal Trade Commission considers Title IV-eligible institutions that participate in Title IV Educational Assistance Programs as “financial institutions” and subject to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (16 CFR 313.3(k)(2)(vi). Condition: Under an institution’s Program Participation Agreement with the Department of Education and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, schools must protect student financial aid information, with particular attention to information provided to institutions by the Department or otherwise obtained in support of the administration of the federal student financial aid programs. Questioned costs: None Context: During our audit procedures, it was noted that the College did not provide formalized documentation which addresses the secured, internal development of applications which transmit sensitive information or the Organizations process to evaluate the security of externally developed applications which transmit sensitive information. The College has not provided formalized documentation which identifies continuous monitoring and safeguarding controls testing. Cause: The college should have an internal control process designed and implemented to ensure compliance with the documentation requirements of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. Effect: The student personal information could be vulnerable. Repeat Finding: No Recommendation: We recommend that the College design and implement controls to ensure that all safeguards for identified risks required by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act are fully documented and updated as necessary. Views of responsible officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.
