DESCRIPTION
The Short Programme in POPI ACT Implementation is designed to prepare its participants to implement the POPI ACT Privacy Information Management System (PIMS) in compliance with the requirements and guidance of the 2013 POPI ACT. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the best practices of privacy information management and learn how to manage and process data while complying with various data privacy regimes.
After the POPIA commencement date or effective date there is a 12-month grace period – so the POPIA deadline is at the end of the grace period. POPIA (South Africa’s data protection law) will only be in force about eight years after it was enacted in 2013.
