CAIS

The 9ine Partnership Program for Canadian Accredited Independent Schools

CAIS Logo

Our partnership program is designed for the Canadian Accredited Independent Schools (CAIS) and their member educational institutions to offer support and expertise in the areas of data protection, cyber security, IT and safeguarding.

This partnership aims to help independent schools in Canada to enhance their privacy management programs through the implementation of policies and procedures, as well as evidence-based practices and safeguards.

Our goal is to enhance schools’ protection of Personal Information and improve the ability of schools to demonstrate compliance with relevant provincial and federal laws, such as the Privacy Act and the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

What People Say About Us

Kingham Hill

“I first met Mark Orchison at an ISBA Conference about 6 years ago and his knowledge of independent schools and technology stuck with me. Several years later when we wished to evaluate where we were with IT staffing, infrastructure and planning, he seemed an obvious person to turn to”

Catriona Thompson
Kingham Hill School, Bursar

San Francisco  Waldorf School

“It has been a true pleasure working with 9ine over the past year. We engaged them in an ongoing contract to continue to provide security auditing services, and our IT vendor has also appreciated the extra set of eyes on their work.”
