Prince William County Public Schools (PWCS) in Virginia has a reputation for innovative education of K–12 students. It’s just taken a step further by rolling out Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance and Microsoft Purview eDiscovery. This is good news for parents and educators as a new tool to help in the identification and prevention of cyberbullying in the virtual classroom. Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance provides the tools to help organizations detect regulatory compliance violations including Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA), such as inappropriate sharing of sensitive or confidential information and harassing or threatening language.
Communication Compliance can also be used to help detect the sharing of inappropriate images or text that can carry harmful innuendo to the most vulnerable of us: young students taking their places as good digital citizens in an evolving world. Built with privacy by design, usernames are pseudonymized by default, role-based access controls are built in, investigators are explicitly opted in by an admin, and audit logs are in place to ensure user-level privacy.
