FERPA Training for Faculty & Staff at CSUF
All university faculty and staff, as well as any other agents of the university who request access to student information in the student information system, must complete Information Security Training. The Information Security Training typically occurs when a faculty or staff person is initially hired.
Access to the student information system will be denied until this training has been completed and the form submitted. The training program is intended to ensure that anyone accessing student education records understands the obligations under FERPA for proper use and protection of student records.
If you have questions or concerns please contact your supervisor or department chair.
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA)
The Information Security Office keeps student data confidential, and maintains the integrity and availability of Sacramento State information and information systems.

PAYMENT CARD INDUSTRY DATA SECURITY STANDARDS (PCI DSS)
CSUF maintains high standard for ensuring the protection and security of its data. This endeavor encompasses our payment processing practices. To ensure the protection of our payment processing practices, CSUF adheres to the data standards established by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC). The PCI SSC has developed the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) for safeguarding the handling of payment card transactions. The PCI DSS is a tool that assists with PCI DSS compliance.
PCI Compliance Scope at CSUF
