International School IT Audits

International schools following UK curricula face the same expectations — and more. We've audited schools in Hong Kong and the UAE, bringing UK-standard rigour to COBIS, CIS, and IB-accredited environments.

Global experience

Audited in Hong Kong & the UAE

We know what international schools look like on the ground — the regional realities, the national regulations, and the accreditation frameworks that shape the expectations on your technology and safeguarding.

HK

Hong Kong

English Schools Foundation and international schools across the territory. We align your audit to international accreditation expectations and Hong Kong's own data and technology landscape — including the schools' obligations to their parent communities.

AE

United Arab Emirates

From Dubai to Abu Dhabi, we work with schools operating under KHDA and ADEK inspection frameworks. Your report gives inspectors the clear, evidence-based technology and safeguarding picture they look for.

Accreditation-ready

Aligned to the frameworks inspectors use

◇

COBIS

The Council of British International Schools. Our audits evidence the technology, safeguarding, and data protection foundations that COBIS compliance and accreditation review look for.

◇

CIS

The Council of International Schools sets standards across governance, safeguarding, and operations. Your report documents where your IT meets those standards — and where it doesn't.

◇

IB

IB schools run digital-first programmes with real infrastructure demands. We assess whether your network, devices, and platforms genuinely support curriculum delivery and student data security.

Same standard, every country

UK rigour, delivered where you are

International schools don't want a weaker audit because they're outside the UK — and neither do we. You get the same depth, the same framework, and the same report quality as a UK school, adapted to your national context.

Common questions

International schools, asked

Can you audit a school outside Hong Kong and the UAE?

Our current international footprint covers Hong Kong and the UAE. If your school is elsewhere, get in touch — we'll give you an honest answer on whether we can deliver to the same standard.

Do you work on-site or remotely?

Both. The core assessment is delivered on-site with your team, and we support remediation and follow-ups remotely after we leave.

Does an international school need KCSIE?

KCSIE itself is UK statutory guidance, but its principles — effective filtering, monitoring, and online safety for children — are exactly what international accreditation frameworks expect. We apply the same standards of care.

Is the audit useful before our accreditation visit?

Yes — that's often exactly when schools commission us. The report documents your position and gives you time to close gaps before inspectors arrive.
