Overview     

POPIA (Protection of Personal Information Act of 2013), 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. 

Our focus in 2021 with the remainder of the webinar series is to provide vital information to assist you in complying by this deadline. 

In this 6th webinar of the series, we will recap on all the important issues around the protection of personal information.  We will also revisit some legal requirements set out in POPIA, to ensure maximum benefits of content in the remaining webinars in the series.
