CISSP – Information Systems Security Management Professional (ISSMP) — Question 33

Which of the following acts is a specialized privacy bill that affects any educational institution to accept any form of funding from the federal government?

Answer options

• A. HIPAA
• B. COPPA
• C. FERPA
• D. GLBA

Correct answer: C

Explanation

FERPA is the correct answer because it specifically governs the privacy of student education records and applies to educational institutions that receive federal funding. HIPAA relates to health information privacy, COPPA addresses children's online privacy, and GLBA pertains to financial institutions, making them irrelevant to the context of education funding.
