Overview     

Our Getting POPI Act Compliant Series where we will be presenting a webinar/mini-workshop every month until July 2021 starts now! Let us help you become compliant every step of the way. 

The much-anticipated Protection of Personal Information Act of 2013 (POPI Act) commenced on 1 July 2020, and requires all businesses (including employers) that process personal information, to ensure that the necessary measures are in place to implement, prove and monitor compliance by 30 June 2021. 

This is a very daunting task which necessitates in-depth knowledge of this very complicated Act. This is why we have invited our POPI Act expert consultant, Lettie Janse van Vuuren CA(SA), to present this important series that will take you to full compliance.  

In Step 1 of the series we will deal with the POPI Act Compliance Checklist in detail.  You will receive our FREE POPI Act Compliance Checklist that will function as an action plan for the next 11 months to get you fully compliant. 

Join Lettie Janse van Vuuren CA(SA) on 6 August 2020 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. as she unpacks the POPI Act in an understandable format. Remember to complete 10 quick assessment questions after attending the webinar. Pass the assessment and you will receive an additional hour’s CPD!
