FERPA and Title IX are now AI compliance categories.
Tokto records every model decision, every faculty or staff prompt, every research-team AI use, and every vendor AI integration that touches student data, IRB-protected research, or institutional records, ready for OCR, the DOE, the IRB, the funding agency, and the AG.
The DOE opens a FERPA enforcement after a third-party AI tool integrated into the SIS leaks student records. The provost asks for AI history per department. The CIO has dashboards. The GC has notice. No one has a record.
- Every model decision tied to a user, a department, a course, a study, a data classification, and a consent capture.
- A complete record for OCR, the DOE, the IRB, the funding agency, the AG, and accreditation reviewers on the same evidence.
- Policy at the model: no FERPA-protected record outside scope, no IRB-protected research past protocol, no export-controlled work into a non-US model.
- Defensibility under FERPA, HIPAA (academic medical), Title IX, IRB protocols, and federal funding terms at once.
- A FERPA inquiry on a third-party AI integration. The institution cannot produce a per-department record.
- A Title IX challenge on an AI-assisted screening pipeline. The institution cannot prove what the model saw.
- A federal funding clawback on a restricted-research data leak through an AI tool. The investigator's grant is suspended.
- An IRB stop on an AI-assisted protocol with no audit trail. The study is reset.
Tokto governs the AI surface of the institution. Faculty co-pilots, administrative assistants, research models, vendor AI inside the LMS or SIS — all become records at the moment they fire. The record carries the user, the department, the data classification, the consent, and the policy that applied. The GC controls one trail across academic affairs, research, athletics, and admin.
When OCR opens a FERPA inquiry, when the DOE asks how AI tools handled student data, when the funding agency asks how restricted research was governed, the record is the same record. The GC answers in days, not federal investigations.
