ABOUT

The purpose of POPIA (Protection of Personal Information Act) is to ensure that all South African corporates, state institutions, government departments and other persons who access private personal information, conduct themselves in a responsible manner when collecting, processing, storing and sharing another person’s personal information by holding them liable should they misuse or compromise the personal information in any way.
 
The requirements outlined by POPIA have significant impact on the way business is conducted. Failure to comply can result in a fine from the Information Regulator, lawsuits, loss of business, negative effect on client relationship and reputational damage.
 
The POPI Act is finally a reality with the appointment of the Information Regulator, Adv Pansy Tlakula.
 
Is your business compliant? What are the penalties for non-compliance? Is your business or  processes at risk? What are the effective strategies to comply with POPI?

In this regard, M&G is hosting this practical workshop that specifically look at POPIA compliant from a contract management perspective. The legislation specifically requires companies to ensure contracts cover the protection of data that flow between companies.
