Secure VoIP
for Schools & Government Agencies

Protect Communications with Secure VoIP Solutions

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is transforming communication for State, Local, and Education (SLED) organizations by delivering flexibility, cost savings, and modern functionality. But without the right security controls, VoIP systems can become vulnerable to eavesdropping, spoofing, and denial-of-service attacks.

R&D Data Products helps design secure VoIP solutions for schools and government agencies across New Jersey that protect sensitive communications and meet security compliance requirements.

VoIP Security Risks to Know

Understand Where VoIP
Can Be Vulnerable

VoIP systems for schools and agencies rely on internet connectivity and therefore face similar risks as other digital services.

Common threats include: 

  • Call Interception (Eavesdropping)
     

  • Caller ID Spoofing & Fraud
     

  • Toll Fraud & Unauthorized Access
     

  • DDoS Attacks on VoIP Infrastructure

    Without strong security for schools and agencies, attackers can compromise confidential conversations and disrupt mission-critical communications.

VoIP Security Best Practices for Schools and Government

Implement Key Defenses to Protect Your Network

Consider a layered approach when setting up your VoIP securities and defenses.

Top security practices:

  • Encrypt VoIP Traffic – Protect calls with end-to-end encryption (e.g., SRTP/TLS).
     

  • Secure SIP Gateways & Session Border Controllers – Prevent unauthorized access and mitigate DDoS attacks.
     

  • Implement Network Segmentation – Isolate VoIP traffic from general internet traffic.
     

  • Strong Authentication & Access Controls – Require strong passwords and restrict access to VoIP systems.
     

  • Monitor & Audit Call Logs – Detect suspicious usage or fraud.

Compliance Considerations for Secure VoIP

Meet Data Protection Standards in Education & Government

Protect against liability by ensuring your VoIP solutions align with industry regulations.

Applicable compliance standards:
 
  • FERPA – Protect student communication and educational data.
     

  • CJIS – Secure law enforcement-related calls and records.
     

  • HIPAA – Safeguard healthcare-related communication (for school nurses or gov clinics).
     

  • NIST Cybersecurity Framework – Implement standardized controls.
