The App also brings you the latest news and analysis on changes in laws and regulations, new technologies and threats, and updates in the education sector regionally and globally.

3. Save up to 250 hours of your time!

You can save up to 250 hours by generating automated task lists and required assessments (DPIA and LIA). This will empower you to quickly understand and assign the mitigating action required.

The 9ine App has intuitive dashboards that can demonstrate the risk consideration of incidents, and communicate the same with your board and senior leadership.

7. Fail-proof compliance work through responsive and automated frameworks.

The 9ine App has been intelligently designed to support your compliance program. Your data can be used to analyse the next steps of action.
