Welcome to
POPI Compliance Training
To help you in optimizing the important yet overlooked tool of POPIA training and awareness, we have designed base-line training material consisting in around 60 slides which cover the following crucial POPIA compliance aspects:
- What is the relevance of cyber attacks in connection with POPIA?
Our training covers the overlap between the Cyber Crimes Act, 2020 and the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013. The practical implications of this overlap cannot be overemphasized.
Our in-house position is that the Information Regulator is treating cyber crimes as if they were potentially related to a POPIA related incident of non-compliance. This we believe to be sensible because most cyber-attacks will necessitate that the organization suffering from the attack report the incident to the Information Regulator in accordance with section 22 (Notification of security compromises).
