As an educational institution, Prem endeavours to ensure that all stakeholders, including students, parents/guardians, and staff, feel confident about the secure and confidential handling of their personal information.

Situation

Prem faced the challenge of achieving compliance with data protection regulations while navigating the complexities of evolving legal frameworks. The lack of clarity on where to begin and the unfamiliarity with legal terminology posed significant hurdles. Moreover, the advent of data protection laws introduced a paradigm shift in data management practices, requiring a comprehensive overhaul of existing processes and procedures. Recognizing privacy and trust as fundamental social values, Prem aimed to establish robust data protection mechanisms to safeguard the sensitive information of its school community members.

Solution

Prem embarked on a journey towards data privacy compliance by partnering with 9ine, drawn by the recommendation of their Head of IT, who had encountered 9ine's expertise at a conference. Leveraging 9ine's specialised services, Prem sought to adopt a structured approach to compliance, guided by expert consultancy and supported by intuitive technological solutions. The implementation of the 9ine Privacy App provided Prem with a centralised platform for managing compliance activities, record-keeping, and workflow management. Additionally, Prem engaged in tailored training programs facilitated by 9ine, aimed at enhancing staff awareness and understanding of data protection laws and best practices.
