The student lending industry is undergoing unprecedented changes. In order for non-profit organizations to seize the opportunity to service loans for the US Government, each organization must rapidly ensure compliance with FISMA (Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002). FISMA requires all federal agencies to implement an information security program to protect federal information. This program applies to agency systems and information processed, stored, or transmitted by contractor-owned information systems.
A lack of compliance with FISMA requirements can result in failure to be eligible to compete for and be awarded government contracts to process, store, or transmit information on behalf of the government
