GCCISD utilizes Data Privacy Agreements (DPAs) and the Student Data Privacy Consortium, which requires all vendors to agree to sign DPAs to protect our students' data. The current Data Privacy Agreement in use is the TX NDPA V1r6.
GCCISD utilizes the Third-Party Risk Management system Upguard. This tool provides us with your company’s security risk, similar to a credit score but for cybersecurity. We expect you to work with Upguard to resolve critical security issues.
