Case Study: Disco achieves FERPA compliance with TechMagic

Disco achieves FERPA compliance ahead of a 3-month timeline with TechMagic

Disco, an AI-powered social learning platform in the EdTech industry, needed to achieve FERPA compliance as a condition of working with U.S. higher education institutions. Their challenge was a lack of formalized governance, policy documentation, and operational readiness to meet the strict requirements for handling student education records. TechMagic was engaged to address these gaps following a structured advisory program.

TechMagic implemented a comprehensive FERPA compliance framework for Disco, focusing on foundational documentation, operational formalization, and risk management. The solution included creating new policies, a request handling toolkit, staff training, and enhanced vendor assessments. The results were delivered ahead of the three-month timeline, providing Disco with a fully documented framework ready for institutional due diligence and equipping their internal team to maintain it independently.
