Faculty & Staff Cybersecurity Training

Details and instructions on SCU's Cybersecurity Training platform.

Santa Clara University requires faculty & staff to complete Cybersecurity Training annually to comply with federal regulations like the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), which applies to SCU because of financial aid transactions. The Safeguards rule (part of GLBA) requires that we evaluate the risk to our systems, put in place controls that address those risks, and consider employee training as one of those risk controls.
