Duo Security (Cisco) for Higher Education.
Duo Security (Cisco) for Higher Education — the deployment patterns, control mappings, and audit-defensible evidence flows we ship. Duo Security (Cisco) brings MFA + risk-based authentication; higher education brings 4 regulatory drivers. Our job is to make that combination defensible.
Drivers in higher education
- Federated research collaboration (eduGAIN, InCommon)
- FERPA student-record access governance
- Identity for students + faculty + alumni in one estate
- GLBA for institutions handling financial aid
Regulations this combination must satisfy.
- NIST 800-171
- FERPA
- GLBA
- SOC 2 Type II
