Securing State, Local, and Education Data Exchange

This capability brief outlines the challenges and solutions for securing data exchange in state, local, and education (SLED) organizations in the context of artificial intelligence (AI). It describes the sensitive nature of the data handled by these organizations, including personal records and health data, and the complex regulatory environment they navigate, which includes frameworks like CJIS, FERPA, and HIPAA. The brief highlights the fragmentation of tools used for data exchange, which complicates compliance and governance, especially as AI becomes integrated into various workflows. The Kiteworks platform is presented as a solution that unifies data governance, AI control, and compliance across multiple channels. It emphasizes the importance of policy-enforced access, real-time audit logs, and compliance with existing regulations. The anticipated outcomes include improved governance, reduced regulatory risk, and streamlined audit processes, ultimately enhancing the security and compliance of sensitive data exchanges within SLED organizations.
