Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, a leading provider of communications, networking, and cloud solutions tailored to customers’ industries, today announces that it has achieved compliance under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) for the US market.
FERPA is a Federal law that requires schools and their service providers to protect the privacy of students’ education records. This entails the establishment and maintenance of administrative, physical, and technical safeguards that are designed to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of all education records to which a school or service provider has access.
FERPA compliance will enable Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise to provide its RainbowTM communications solutions, including Rainbow Classroom, to its education customers.
“ALE has been proactive in taking on the critical role of protecting students’ education records and providing educational agencies or institutions with the technology they need to ensure student success. We take great pride in offering peace of mind to education professionals, parents, and students alike,” said Salvatore Zoida, Senior Attorney and FERPA Compliance Officer at ALE USA Inc.

We are committed to our education customers and will continue to propose the solutions they need while ensuring all the necessary protection for them to offer services in optimal conditions,” said Mike Mullarkey, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Americas at ALE USA Inc.
