Information Security and Compliance Software for Colleges & Universities

Institutions of higher education (IHEs) are expected to develop an information security program to protect the personal information of their students. Creating a cybersecurity program which meets the regulatory requirements can be a challenge without the right resources. Tandem is here to help.

  • Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Standards for Safeguarding Customer Information
  • Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) IT Examination Booklets

"The Tandem Business Continuity Planning software has streamlined how we manage business continuity for our bank. Before Tandem, we lost files and had to update and make changes to a Word document. This software has helped us focus on the important aspects of business continuity and made it easier to update, train, and report to our Board of Directors."
