Colleges and universities are subject to these requirements. As required by Section 501(b), the standards are intended to:

1. Ensure the security and confidentiality of customer records and information;
2. Protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such records; and
3. Protect against unauthorized access to or use of such records or information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any customer.
