Protecting Student Health Data: TPRM for Higher Education | UpGuard

This blog post discusses the sensitivity of student health data in higher education, enumerates data types (medical records, immunizations, mental health, accommodations, insurance), lists third-party vendors that may access such data (EHRs, telehealth, mental health platforms, insurers, research orgs), and recommends third-party risk management (TPRM) practices—due diligence, audits, risk assessment, and incident response—to protect that data; it additionally highlights how UpGuard’s Vendor Risk product can support these processes and cites a past UCLA breach as context.
