Privacy by Design | Compliance by Default
Privacy is no longer simply a legal or regulatory consideration—it is a fundamental business requirement.
Organisations collect, process, store and share increasing volumes of personal information across employees, customers, suppliers, partners and digital platforms. Effective privacy management therefore requires more than policies and documentation; it requires the integration of legislation, risk management, governance, processes and technology.
In South Africa, the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) establishes requirements for the lawful processing and protection of personal information. Organisations must understand what personal information they hold, why they process it, where it is stored, who has access to it, and how it is shared with third parties.
Our privacy services provide an end-to-end approach to privacy and data protection, helping organisations translate regulatory requirements into practical, sustainable controls across the business.
Cross-Border Data & Cloud Considerations
Modern technology environments can make data flows increasingly complex. Personal information may be processed or accessed across multiple countries through cloud platforms, SaaS applications, managed service providers and international technology partners.
POPIA Section 72 places specific requirements on the transfer of personal information outside South Africa. This makes understanding your organisation’s data flows, cloud environments, third-party processors, contractual safeguards and international transfers an important component of privacy risk management.
For organisations processing the personal data of individuals in the European Economic Area, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) may also become relevant.
