9ine are proud to partner with the Council of International Schools (CIS) to provide expertise related to data protection and cyber security to the CIS membership community.
Changes to global data protection law have placed obligations on schools to improve how personal data and information is collected, stored, shared and secured. Through the inclusion of new data protection standards within our protocol, all CIS schools, no matter their location, will be asked to demonstrate evolving practice in the management of personal data and information.
In partnership with 9ine through the CIS affiliated consultant programme, resources to develop leading practice will support CIS-Accredited schools and help them to evidence their accountability and alignment with our newly-revised standards. - Jane Larsson, Executive Director, CIS
9ine's self-assessment is a useful resource that puts both the requirements for best practice data protection and CIS accreditation into actions, providing insight towards other critical areas / departments where data protection has an impact and a mechanism to get the IT department and child protection department working together.
The questions within the Self-Assessment provide a useful checklist for your GDPR group to work through and helps you understand the work that needs to be done. The Accreditation & Data Protection tab highlights the specific standards that CIS are looking at and the relevance to data protection. The Self-Assessment was not too long to complete with a manageable amount of questions. It brought to light the technical aspects of safeguarding/child protection. The evidence box is really useful for forcing you to answer accurately.
In making use of the self-assessment tool, CIS-Accredited schools will be able to keep up-to-date with practices relating to data protection, cyber security and safeguarding / child protection by accessing resources that include webinars, workshops and events which will support in achieving CIS Accreditation standards.
9ine's DPO Essentials is an annual subscription service providing training and resources to develop and advance your school’s Data Protection Office. It includes an optional module to align with the CIS International Accreditation protocol.
The service includes an advanced database for you to quickly record the data processing activities your school undertakes, then evaluate the lawful basis, risks and actions you need to take to evidence meeting accreditation standards.
DPO Essentials provides an annual service plan which includes onsite school training for new starters and board members, an annual audit and an information rights / breach management support service.
