Cyrus Ndyamba, from Bizmod Consulting, says that a Privacy Office is far more than just about compliance. “For large organisations processing personal information in SA, it is vital that a Privacy Office is established internally.”
Ndyamba says that a Privacy Office helps to establish best practices regarding privacy, data governance, information security and organisational culture, while ensuring that the Protection of Personal Information Act (Popia) and the Promotion of Access to Information Act (Paia) are fully complied with.
